Researchers have found that approximately 50% of people set a New Year’s resolution but less than 10% of people keep them. Think about the last resolution you made- bet you set it and then realized you’d bit off more than you could chew, right? We’re encouraging you to set a resolution to reduce your impact on the Earth and we’ll help you every step by breaking it down into delicious little morsels for you week-by-week. You won’t have to change your entire household and habits in one fell swoop! Check in with us each week, or sign up for our newsletter, to get a simple, easy-to-follow strategy, tip, or insider trick to help you live a greener life. Together we’ll see that you follow through on your resolution. We will help you make simple changes for a healthier life and hopefully learn a lot on the way!
We’ll look at things like:
-
Pursing a zero waste lifestyle
-
DIY beauty care
-
Toxin free cleaning products
-
All-natural health remedies
-
Living local while thinking global
-
Upcycled crafts
and more!
Plus, you’ll learn tips to save money at the same time (and we’ll be giving away a cup every month for those participating in the challenge)!
Join us for a safer, greener, and less wasteful 2015- it’s not as hard as you think!!
Comment or email us with your green living/ zero waste tips and we’ll share them in a future post! Also make sure to comment or email with anything specific you’re wanting tips on.
