1.) Tell the kids that you are going to skip Christmas this year----no
gifts and no lights on the tree, though you will chop down that scrawny
little thing you have in your backyard.

2.) Do not feed your dog for a month. You'd be surprised how they can get
by on things like leather and fabric of all kinds. DO give your pet
water---not too would be cruel.

3.) Have your entire family FAST for a week. Great for your waistline, and
the kids won't starve. Tell them it is some religious thing.

4.) Do not put gas in your car for a month. Either take the bus if you
live in the city, or ride a horse to work. Or ride your son's bicycle.
This is much more environmentally friendly.

5.) Do not buy books anymore (does anyone anyway?). Use your public
library. You pay taxes don't you? Well, most of us do

6.) Work extra hours. Egad!! They tell me that there is a world of
opportunity open to those who would like to "work the streets" at night.

These are just a few ideas. I'm sure many more will follow.
