It's that time of year when we make promises about how we'll change ourselves in the New Year. We look for ways to make a difference in our lives, hoping for better health. This New Year, set resolutions that are realistic, good for you and the environment like any of the three we suggest below!
1. Eliminate bottled water
Eliminating bottled water really easy to do. Simply buy a stainless steel container and fill it with tap water. If you want, filter your tap water to improve its taste, but keep in mind that most tap water is held to a higher standard of purity than bottled water.
2. Re-Usable Bags
Paper or Plastic? How about neither?! Buy re-usable cloth bags and keep them handy so that you always have them available for last minute shopping trips. Keep a couple in your vehicle, a couple at home, and maybe one that’s travel size so you never have to make that horrible decision at check out time.
3. Drive Less
If you can live without a car, do it. In most cities, the cost of a transit pass is still less than you'd shell out for insurance, gas, maintenance and car payments. Be sure to check with your school or employer, as universities often have a transit pass included in their fees, and some employers offer discounted fees for public transportation.
