Sustainable New Years Resolution Ideas

Happy 2020! Around this time people are making all sorts of new years resolutions, but not many people are choosing sustainability as one! Maybe it’s because they just don’t know what to start or how to start, maybe they just don’t know why they should.

Choosing sustainability in 2020 can make a huge difference if we each do our part! So here are some ideas:

Consider going vegan or vegetarian: meat production contributes to global warming and pollution heavily, so consider going vegan or vegetarian. Even if you only cut out one or two types of meat, like only cutting out pork or beef, it still makes a difference.

Work on cutting out single use plastics: buy reusable alternatives to everyday items such as plastic bags, straws, untensials, etc.

Spread the word on climate change: share posts, blogs, and news story’s with your friends and family. Show people what’s happening and why we need to make a change.

Reduce your Carbon and Green House Gas Emmisions: take public transportation, carpool with your friends when going places, walk or bike if it’s close on a nice day, if you are buying a new car consider buying an electric one, don’t take/ take less plane flights.

Organize Community Projects: get some friends together and pick up trash, get your community to plant more trees, gather a group of people to pick up trash on the beach and spread the word.

Support Local Stores and Sustainable Brands: shop at local stores instead of large corporations, support brands that give back to the environment and reduce their emissions as a company

And thats the list! Even if you only do one or two of these, or come up with your own, everything you do helps and has an impact. Here’s to a happy and sustainable 2020!
