Renee Ingram 10/25/2017 10:54 AMI try and focus on one sustainable thing I can do each day. And my husband and I have started talking about how we can do something in our community in terms of social issues each Thanksgiving instead of a giant meal. We have some great ideas so far! One thing we want to implement for our family as a Christmas tradition is to clean out coats, boots , clothes, toys and any "gear " we haven't used all year and get them into the hands that really need them. -
