When planning your New Year, consider that healthy resolutions easily partner with helping the environment. If we all make one change in 2011, it should be to simply think about the impacts our choices have.

Get Inspired: Get outside and find your environment; a place to help protect for the future.

Decide to Act: Simply thinking about your purchases and where they came from is the right start. Our actions and our choices generate a domino effect beyond what we see, so make choices for a positive one.

Share and Maintain: Talk to friends and family, learn from others and keep it up! Simply talking about the environment spreads awareness; you never know who else you’ll inspire!

5 Simple Ideas to Improve Your Year and Your Environment

• Think about your water and where your drain drains! (and recommend to all your friends to use Bio-Dry waterless concrete cleaner on all oil and grease stains to save water!)
• Find local food and produce, challenge yourself to a weekly recipe with a locally grown or organic ingredient. Reduce air pollution caused by food and goods transport.
• Go car-free or consolidate errands with friends.
• Learn about your recycling options in your city or town. If we counted our garbage like we count calories, would things be different? Label your trash bin “landfill” if you need a reminder!
• Most importantly, talk to others. Compare ideas and involve kids, there’s no better way to get inspired!
