It’s that time again folks! A new year means new goals and resolutions for people all over the world. Have you started on your new year’s goals yet? This year I am trying to make an effort for my resolutions to be bigger than ever before. My primary resolution is to encourage green living in my community. With the involvement and support of an entire local community the impact of going green will be so much greater. Here are the ways that I am going to encourage and promote green living in my community. Maybe you can do the same in yours.
- Teach. Sadly, not everyone understands the impact that they have on the environment. That means they might not even think that drinking only bottled waters and sodas is harmful. I am going to teach green. This means talking about recycling, and helping people to find the perfect water filters for their needs so that plastic bottles are no more. Green cleaning products are also something that I can teach people about, along with reducing carbon footprints.
- Support. One of the best ways to go green and help out the local community where you live is to support local businesses. Yes, you spend your money locally so it stays local, but you might also be eliminating huge truck shipments and boat shipments of products from other countries that end up in big bow stores. You will probably be getting a higher quality of goods when you support local stores also.
- Promote Good Health. This last one might not seem very green, but if you think about it, it is. When people are healthy they tend to walk more or ride bikes to and from work if they live close enough. Also, they eat healthier. Eating organic and local foods are good for you and the earth. Think about it, those burgers from your favorite fast food place had to get there on big trucks expending toxins and pollutants into the air.
