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.”
