2008 Wealthy Habits Planner

Thank you for supporting us this year. We really appreciate it so I have made you a gift as a special thank you. It is a calendar, but it is no ordinary calendar. In fact, it's not like any kind of calendar you have ever seen before. This year it is super, super special! After watching Al Gore's documentary movie "An Inconvenient Truth" I was left stunned and saddened. He painted such a bleak picture. We have already done an awful lot of damage to our planet.

But - then I thought about everything he said and had a 'light bulb moment'. In order to heal the planet, we only have to reduce our carbon emissions by 10%. Well, that is easy. We can do that! The sort of lifestyle he is asking everyone to live is what Simple Savers are already doing. Al Gore is basically asking us to become smarter shoppers. We can do that too! So that is the goal for 2008. This year I am challenging you to become a smarter shopper. We have laid out 12 challenges to help you to help everyone save money and save the planet at the same time.

So let's get started!

You can download the Australian calendar here (2.4Mb)

... or the New Zealand calendar here (2.4Mb)

... or the United States calendar here (2.4Mb)

Note: You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read these files. It is a free program and you can download it from: here

If you are having trouble downloading the PDF file, try right-clicking and selecting 'Save link as...', saving it to your Desktop then opening it from the Desktop.

The official challenges start in January, however from now until then we have an unofficial challenge to get everyone in the mood for change: Get this calendar to as many people as possible. Email the link to your friends, print it as a Christmas gift, post links to it on your favourite forum, call in to radio stations, email the media. We need *everyone* to become smarter shoppers to have a global effect. So let's get to it! Merry Christmas! 2008 is going to be a great year!
