Our Pledge

After watching the PLEDGE video online with the boys, we decided to forgo our usual new years resolutions & instead make our own promises to the world. We want to start this year with fresh, positive ideas of how we can change our world- however big or small! We told the boys that they could choose whatever they wanted, something that they felt especially excited about. Patrick's pledge is "to plant and nurture a healthy garden". He wants to reduce the amount of food we buy that is shipped from other areas, helping the environment and growing fresh fruits and vegetables! Michael's pledge is very big, but he thought of small ways he can help, by helping us with the recycling, feeding the birds outside, taking his pets outside for walks and helping out at an animal shelter. We are hoping that the boys will learn that their hands can give a lot, that even as children they can make a difference in this world! It makes me wonder... as an adult, what am I willing to pledge?
