NEW Simple Living Madison Blog Coming in August

Simple Living Madison was initially created as a project for a fantastic web writing class by Madison College instructor Martha Schwer.

We've been dormant for awhile as we learned new things...but kept going back to the idea behind SLM, something we felt was badly needed in Madison—a central place to include local resources, events and issues focusing on simple, frugal and conscious living in our fair city.

Simple Living Madison is relaunching at blog.simplelivingmadison.com starting August 1, 2010.

Madison simple living issues will continue to the focus of the "new" blog, but we are excited to introduce a Simple Living Calendar of events and important dates around town.

How many times have you found out too late that the city had a day set aside to recycle old pharmaceuticals or missed out on the UW Credit Union's "Shred It" day because of poor publicity?

The Simple Living Calendar will gather all these important dates into one handy resource.

Madison-based organizations or groups devoted to simple living will be able to send us event information. Locally owned Madison businesses will have opportunities to get the word out on products and services that support simple living.

Stop on by the new site after August and send us your ideas!
