Welcome To Frugal Kaizen

I recently read the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way and was reminded once again that I should take smaller steps and take them more consistently. I wanted to see how much I can contribute to the Kaizen way of thinking and to document my progress. What better way than to create a blog!

So what will I talk about in this blog? Posts will reflect acts of kindness, helping the environment, and anything that will better our community and planet. Yes, these are broad topics, but they will all have one thing in common. I will put my thoughts on each topic and list one tiny step you can take daily to get us all closer to making our planet a better place to live. Here are some ideas for some upcoming posts.

• Reuse Plastic forks
• Reusing Plastic bags
• Single side used paper
• Double side used paper
• Paper towels
• Excercising – start walking, one city block at a time
• Excercise: One pushup at a time.
• Getting Enough Water: one sip at a time

I did say they are tiny steps right? :) This blog is a culmination of everything I've experienced, done, read about and wrote/blogged about in my life (so far). I really believe that we should all give more than we take from our planet and from others. If everyone did this, we would all live in a much better and more advanced society.

As a start, I encourage all NYC residents, especially Queens residents to sign the petition to prevent funds from being cut. You can read more about it on my post Sign The Petition To Save Our Libraries! on FrugalNYC.
