Instead of worrying about a make-over in 2009, how about giving yourself a green-over? It sounds much nicer than a resolution. The best way, I think, to compose it stick, is to manufacture it something positive.
Instead of resolving to eat more vegetables how about giving yourself a kitchen green-over and deciding to try one recipe per week using organic ingredients (or produce whether you need to eat more veggies anyway).
Instead of resolving to exercise more, how about a nature green…

Here it comes, the official last party of 2008 — and not a moment too soon. After weeks of shopping, gift wrap, drinking binges, encouraging consumerism, and excessive packaging, I for one am starting to feel like I might be coming down with holiday fatigue. Still, there’s one raging, confetti-throwing shindig left, and even whether you don’t have a game plan to green your New Year’s party — there’s still day. Just assemble your token effort at the liquor store.
My intention here isn’t …

If you’ve been holding off on doing some green home improvements, you’ll be happy to know that some of the tax credits for green building (and improving) will still be around in 2009.
Some of the best?
$150 for some Energy Star furnaces and boilers.
$200 for Energy Star windows
up to $500 for insulation
up to $3,150 for a hybrid vehicle purchase
There are limits on how much you can benefit from the tax credits in one year, so manufacture certain and do your research ahead of duration …

The New Year is just about here and with that many of us will be making both grand and manageable commitmentsto better ourselves, our communities, and our planet in 2009. Pondering that I began to think of hobbies that we could each take up that might construct a little difference and help others see how easy it is to be eco-minded. Here are a few suggestions of hobbies that won’t impact the planet in a negative way and might just be fun to take up:
Knitting — construct homemade items for y…

Some of you may be planning to manufacture New Year’s resolutions to be more green in your everyday life. possibly you aly do a lot and you have a specific view like giving up paper towels, or, possibly you’re still a bit new to the whole green thing and just want to be more green.
Either way, there are some great questions you can ask when looking at new stuff in 2009. One of the three Rs of being green is reduce, so think about some of these questions next day you go shopping.

Etsy’s homemade goods must be the best place to find creative and eco-minded items from around the world. For instance, Mayari makes Magic Wallets from recycled juice or drink boxes that would otherwise end up in the landfill, and places them on Etsy for us greenies to find. By adding a few elastics, staples and dash of ingenuity these colorful cardboard pieces become useful items to hold cards and money in one convenient spot. You can show off your original creation and your green style for…
