Green New Year’s Resolution Ideas

  • Say goodbye to plastic (and paper) bags. “But I always forget my bags in the car or at home,”is the number one excuse I hear people use for why they aren’t utilizing reusable bags.  And ya know what?  I’ve used the same excuse, that is, until I told myself I would just flat out never use a plastic or paper bag again.  So, when I forget my reusable bags in my car or at home, I load all of my groceries back into the cart and carry them by hand.  It’s really not that difficult, yet is enough of an inconvenience that the process serves as a fantastic reminder to bring my own bags in next time!
  • While you’re at it, give plastic water bottles the boot. If you haven’t already, please buy yourself and each member of your family a reusable bottle and a Brita pitcher (if you don’t have a filter on your fridge).  There is zero reason to spend your hard-earned cash on bottled water.  Not only does the production and transportation of the bottles negatively impact the environment, there is solid proof that the water in those bottles is the same as what is coming out of your tap.  Only, it’s infinitely more expensive.
