| | Tennessee Mom is Latest "Millionaire" | |  Thousands of women have joined the Big Green Purse "One in a Million" campaign. How? By pledging to shift $1,000 of their annual household budget to products and services that offer the greatest environmental benefits.
Once a million women shift their $1,000 (by spending differently, not spending more), we'll have a billion dollar eco-impact on the marketplace, resulting in direct environmental benefits like cleaner air and water and less global warming.
Deborah H. from Nashville, Tennessee and the mother of two young boys, is the latest "Millionaire." Here's how she shifted over $1,000:
* Joined a Winter CSA - $704.50
* Bought Bamboo Sheets - $ 93.77
* Joined a Spring CSA - $400.00
Total .............................. $1,198.27
Why did she do it?
"I joined One in a Million because I received an e- mail from the women's list-serve at my church (Christ Church Cathedral in Nashville, TN) about the good things your group was doing," she says.
"Thinking about the campaign has impacted how I buy. We use bamboo sheets on our beds, we recycle, and we belong to a CSA (to get locally grown and organic food). My husband bikes to work when he can. We car pool with another family for school and we donate extra funds to our electric company for green energy."
