I thought about doing something big for the last day of the Challenge, and also because it is Earth Day, but then something that Hightouchmegastore wrote on her blog about the small things that we do are really what is going to make a difference, and I realized that this is what the Challenge is really about: we do make a difference in the small things we choose to do. Yes the big things are important (hell I've already given up driving for all intents and purposes) but the small things that we can continue to do beyond the EDC are what really matters. As a matter of fact all of my things I think I can keep doing.
Now as for sweeping, there are a couple of benefits: you don't waste water by hosing down the porch and secondly you cut down on vacuuming because not as much of the outside is tracked inside. Sweeping the porch, in fact, used to be a daily activity for our ancestors. I still recall that every morning my grandmother would go out and give the porch a once over. Why? So she didn't have to spend more time sweeping her carpet. Of course by the time I recall her doing this, she had a vacuum and it was simple for her, but old, and much more earth-friendly habits died hard with her.
My grandfather, as well, would regularly rake the yard for the same purposes. It was interesting whenever they came and visited: the yard was raked and the porches were swept.
I think I'll make it a part of my daily routine to sweep the porch.

During its closed season, The National Trust run Conservation Tours (without the usual roped off areas) to explain what happens in a property when the doors are closed. Starting at the top of the house the staff and volunteers meticulously clean everything and check for damage, like insect or rodent invasion or fading from sunlight, then return the item to exactly where it was found. Items that have been cleaned are covered in acid free paper until the house reopens. A large red cross on the paper means this is a particularly special object to be rescued first should a disaster occur. Mr Straw was a high class grocer who's family moved to the house in 1923 and changed very little until his death in 1990 then leaving the house contents to The National Trust, in Worksop, UK.
This is at the Alaska Conservation Center near Anchorage. They have several different types of animals there. Some will be released into the wild, others will stay because they can't be released for whatever reason. It's a really cool place to see some large animals up close. This grizzly is big..the fence looked pretty wimpy..and he looked at me as if to say 'a snack?' Ha!
