I stopped making new years resolutions a few years ago.
The only resolution I do have is to start making small changes to the way I think and act.
I am going to try and do 5 of these at least once this year.
- Donate a bag of old cloths to a charity close to my home.
- Drop one bag of dog or cat food at my SPCA.
- Buy a cake at our local Home Industry, they support a lot of people in my neighbourhood.
- Support the local markets in and around my town, it might be the only income the exhibitors have.
- Say thank you a lot more.
- Ask politely.
- Fill-up my car at a filling station in the poorest area in my neighborhood, they employee people from the areas around them.
- Recycle one bag of paper or one bag of plastic bottles.
- Try to pick up 3 plastic items when I am on the beach and recycle them.
- Plant a tree.
- Donate a book to my local library.
- Save electricity and save more water.
- Buy something form a small business close to my home.
- I am going to try and use the stairs at the office.
- I have ordered stainless steel straws already, I am trying not to use plastic once at all.
- I am going to try and stop all my printed bills, and request all of them to be e-mailed to me.
- I try not to buy plastic bags, but if I have to I will try and buy one less that needed.
Just maybe this will save our planted for one more year!
