There is no better time than the beginning of the year to start working on New Year's Resolutions in order to create longstanding lifestyle changes. As detailed in last's week's blog post, there are several resolution possibilities that have direct, greenliving impacts. That being said, how can greenliving goals and successes be measured and monitored throughout the year? Try putting together a GreenLiving calendar for 2017 to easily keep track of green lifestyle changes. Some methods to putting together a green calendar include:
1) Create themes for every month: To accomplish green tasks, try to center each month of 2017 around a common theme/ goal. For example: Green techniques to keep warm for January, summer gardening ideas for July and August, etc. It is easier to accomplish goals if they are made more specific.
2) Make a system to accomplish GreenLiving goals: Establish a common system that can be carried over from month to month to aid in beginning and completing green tasks. For example: list multiple green chores, tips, or ideas on pieces of paper and put them in a mason jar. Randomly pull out a green suggestion to accomplish during the week. By the end of the year, the jar should be empty/ nearly empty.
