I’m not such a fanatic about New Year’s Resolutions because change is an ongoing process. I do have a standing resolution that I don’t want to wake up and begin the year with a hangover, I’ve fulfilled that one for quite some time.
However, if I was put on the spot to give you one I’d state that my resolution this year is to do more of what I do and to do it superior, like more of this and this and this and so on and so on. All of my hopes this year have a little to do with this and this. I say hopes with a cheerful optimism because 2007 proved to be a monumental year for the environment and in many ways it looks to just get superior.
There are so many ways to go green at home and work, simple steps to make progress include ideas and actions that have sustainability in mind. Like using less paper by printing only when necessary, saving energy by powering down and avoiding phantom loads, biking or walking to work, taking the train, the list is endless.
Still, there’s something about a New Year’s Resolution that makes us all listen up. It’s a call to action, a goal, a path. Even if it doesn’t go as planned it’s better to at least give it a go. So I want to know what readers are thinking. What are your green goals for your business or work this year? I want to know! Leave a comment and share your vision of green for the coming year!
