Great Green Challenge!

Have you ever won anything?  I don't usually but recently I was chosen out of hundreds of applicants to be part of Whirlpool's Great Green Challenge!  This means over the next 6 weeks I'll be blogging for Whirlpool on their website...www.greatgreenchallenge.ca.  I'll be writing about the changes our family is making to be greener and make a smaller environmental footprint.  I love the idea of this challenge, I think every family should make an effort to make some changes, no matter how small.  If every family can be just a bit greener (or a lot greener) it can have an impact on our environment.  I know there are other factors, big companies need to make changes too, governments need to make changes...the list goes on and on.  But all of that doesn't change the fact that we can have an impact with one household.  Also, I like the idea of showing my kids I want to make a difference and doing this means more than just talking about it, it means actually doing.

Oh yeah, and I also got 5 awesome new appliances out of the deal!!  I'm loving the new appliances, the fridge is my favourite though because it's big and I never run out of room.  The double oven is a close second because I love the smaller oven on top, and I've even used both at the same time, so cool.
