With New Year’s almost here, it’s likely you’re starting to think about your goals. Do you have some green household goals that you’d like to work on in the upcoming year? If you’re looking for ideas, here are some good ones:
Go green in 2009 by…
Ditching toxic household cleaners and chemical based home air fresheners.
Improving the air quality in your home.
Green your kitchen java for the entire year! Coffee is a great place to start if you’re looking to go green your lifestyle.
Drinking tap water, or at the very least buying a water filter over bottled water.
Starting a compost routine.
Only buying sustainable home furniture and decor.
Giving your baby a fresh green start in life.
Pledging to reduce, reuse, and recycle more at home.
Planting some trees around your house or in your neighborhood.
Conserving electricity around the house.
Do you have another green home goal? One I didn’t mention? Leave a comment about your green goals for 2009.
Oh, by the way, my green goals are as follows:
1) Recycle all the toilet paper tubes – this was actually my goal last year. I’m great at recycling everything but the tubes still sometimes end up in the bathroom trash vs. the recycling. I’ve improved since last year, but this is an ongoing goal.
2) Cook more. This last year was nuts (seriously) I bought more packaged foods than maybe ever in my entire life. That’s not great eco cooking. It’s much better to buy less packaging, and cook closer to the earth meals.
