SUSTAINABLE RESOLUTIONS “Going green” is on everyone’s mind these days and if it’s your New Year’s resolution, you’re in the right place. Green living involves many steps, but that’s what sustainable baby steps are all about; taking small steps toward greener living in recognition of the fact that every small contribution really does count! Ensuring that your resolutions are sustainable means doing things differently – consider these top resolutions from a new perspective: • Improve your health: Acknowledge that often personal and environmental health are interlinked. When you think about improving your health this year, consider things like eating fresh, local foods and support organic farming. While you’re kicking that smoking habit, go chemical-free in other areas of your life with natural household cleaners and organic pest control. • Reorganise your home and life: Focus on making order out of the chaos that creates stress. Remember that the accumulation of all that “stuff” harms our natural resources. Donating excess to a good cause keeps it out of a landfill, and by decreasing the consumption of new “stuff” our environmental footprint is made infinitely smaller. • Get out of debt: Nothing is less personally sustainable than debt. Getting out of debt and decreasing spending is usually the first step to decreasing debt. There are many green habits that will actually save money! Once you’re debt-free you can start investing those savings in even more sustainable changes. • Improve your lifestyle: Spending more time with loved ones, getting involved with a charity or reconnecting with your spiritual beliefs improves your sense of wellbeing. Doing this will foster a healthy, happy life. Create that purpose by getting involved with the things that matter most to you. GREEN NEWS: PRESIDENT LAUDS GREEN BUILDING The Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA), has revealed its new green building in Pretoria to an eager mass audience – but one person in particular was extremely pleased to see how R8 billion will be spent over the next 27 years to run the building. Speaking at the building’s unveiling, President Jacob Zuma stated: “South Africa has relatively high emissions for a developing country and we should make the most of every opportunity to change this trajectory – hence we have since developed the National Climate Change Response Policy. With the opening of this building, we are showing a bold commitment to lower emissions as well as our commitment to the green economy.” To read the full article, CLICK HERE.
