Well, it's that time of the year again. Time to reflect, assess and re-evaluate.Last year, I purchased more local and organic food, incorporated more vegan and raw foods into my diet, ventured back into thrift stores for fashion purchases,bought less stuff, introduced a few business groups to the green economy, invested in socially responsible stock funds and spent less time at the gym, more on the pavement. Wow! That's a lot of green stuff! So here are my top ten 10 green goals for 2010.
- Take the bus to work one day a week
- 20% of clothing purchases from thrift, consignment shops, 20% organic or fair trade
- Obtain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Enviromental Design) accreditation
- Green renovation of my bathroom and invest in low flow household water fixtures
- Take advantage of tax credits for green appliance purchase
- Apply permaculture principles in my garden and plant more edibles (this will be a challenge, as my garden is shady)
- Host green events including a women's trade show, an Earth Day party and a garden party
- Promote Power of Placed Based Educational Principles in my Green Schools Action Circle
- Act as a Green Coach to an African American business
- Make five green business presentations
