Happy New Year!

Make a couple of your new year's resolutions green ones! Here are just a few easy suggestions:

• Actually use those reusable bags that have been hanging in your closet for the past year. I have 1 Bag at a Time bags, which are great and I highly recommend. If you have none, spring a few bucks - you can find them practically anywhere these days.
• Turn your heat down a few degrees when you leave for work during the day. Ask yourself the age-old question: if the heat is down during the day when no one is home to feel it, is the house actually cold?
• Replace regular light bulbs with CFLs. Yes, they are pricy, so look for sales (at Target, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.) and buy just a couple at a time to reduce the financial strain. If you are somewhat crafty, get some glass paint and create holiday ornaments out of the old bulbs.
• Start thinking of a green project to take on when the weather turns: build a compost bin, plant a vegetable garden, plant a tree. Be creative!
