Raising awareness at home:
have a discussion topic for dinner time conversation...
For example: how would our lives be different if:
- we only had one car?
- we had to share one bathroom?
- we had to share one television?
- we had to stick to a VERY tight budget?
- we didn't have a house?
- the breadwinner lost his/her job?
Another "do more" item: Organize a food drive in your workplace or neighborhood. |
