Going Green: New Year. New Resolve.

In this happy new year of 2016, I suspect many of you have started out with a resolution or two – lose weight, get more rest, be kinder, and so on.  That’s all good stuff and wishing you best of luck in hitting those targets. In the spirit of this first 2016 edition of Going Green, I want to suggest adding a Green tint to your resolutions.  Consider and commit to one green act in your personal life and one green act in your work life that will help protect the environment.   Our friends, and national environmental partner, at Earth Day Network have made it quite easy by sharing a variety of ways each of us individually can pledge or register a green action; all in support of Billion Acts of Green. In 2010 Earth Day Network launched Billion Acts of Green, the largest environmental service campaign in the world - an international movement to protect the planet and secure a sustainable future.  With a goal of 3 Billion Acts of Green, the campaign is steadily building commitments by individuals, organizations, businesses, and government to protect our Planet and has registered 2.02 billion acts.  Go to http://www.earthday.org/takeaction/campaigns.html to make a pledge and help them reach the goal. Alone we make a difference; collectively we ALL make a TREMENDOUS impact – one act of green at a time.
