New Year’s resolutions are simple to write, yet appear challenging to see through. According to an article in the New York Times, it says that a third of resolutioners don’t even make it past January.
Why? Because of the lack of sustainability. The goals are too grand to accomplish in just one sitting.
This year, one of the most popular resolutions for the New Year is going green. In fact, a lot of companies such as United Airlines, Proctor & Gamble, even Apple have gone green in their policies over the past two years.
As more of us work to make small but meaningful changes to our daily lives, we can make a significant impact on the earth.
While there is a lot that needs to be done for the world to go completely green, you can always start by making an impact in your own daily life to go green and improve the environment.
Follow these four tips as a starting point:
1. Limit the power usage in your home.
This is something we’ve all heard before, but there’s a reason why this tip is the first one.
Something as simple as turning off the lights when you leave a room is a great way to cut down the amount of energy you’re using in your home. Turning off the light or any source of power is also an important aspect of going green is eliminating environmental toxins in your home. Did you know that when you turn off lights that aren’t being used, you can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions by .15 pounds per hour?
Again, something as simple as turning off unnecessary lights in your home can make an environmental impact, especially in your home.

Make it easier on the environment by buying and using eco-friendly products.
