A Green New Year!

2011 can be our greenest year yet!!!


Top 5 EASY ways to go green this new year are:



1. Change your attitude! It is simple to have a green attitude, and once you do you will see SO many ways to green our world. The green attitude is one of gratitude. When you see each tree as a source of oxygen for us to breathe, and the sky as a reminder of the endless possibilities for life, and water as sustenance for all life, you automatically grow your gratitude.




2. Pay it forward! Pay your gratitude forward with kindness and compassion! Help out your community this year by simply spending time with a neighbor or volunteering at your community garden!




3. Recycle and reuse! We already have enough "stuff" on our planet. Let's recycle and reuse that stuff in smart ways. We all know the basics now - glass, paper, and more are easy to be recycled in our towns. Reuse by passing down those baby clothes to new moms in your neighborhood, or those books you once loved at a book swap with your friends - those are just ideas to start!




4. Unplug! Turning off your electronics not only saves electricity, but it also gives you moments with family, friends and peaceful quiet time that will help with your attitude of gratitude.




5. Treat yourself well! The respect you show yourself is naturally shared with friends, family and your world. The healthier you treat your body, mind and soul, the healthier you will treat the planet.

Happy New Year! Let's enjoy our missions this year to keep it green!!!
