Overall Project Goals:
1. Decrease our waste production, and our carbon footprint.
2. Post to my blog at least once a week, if not more
3. Increase awareness for recycling and reducing waste production
4. Show my support for local business, and show that it is easier and more cost-efficient to use these local gems rather than Big Business.
5. Find easy ways for the everyday busy person to save the planet, and save money!
