Today I am following up on my 2014 Sustainability Resolutions...
Successes:
- Exercising Daily
- Praying and giving thanks for 10 things everyday
- Eating more fruits and vegetables
 |
| My wife is expanding our garden for this season |
- Going to church weekly
- Drinking less soft drinks and more water
 |
| Drinking more water thanks to my Brita Pitcher |
- Carrying my lunch to work
- Eating at locally owned restaurants
- Replacing bulbs with CFL's (not LED as originally planned)
 |
| These specialty fixtures we could not replace with CFL bulbs |
- Limiting showers to less than three minutes
- Recycling bottles, cans, plastic grocery bags, junk mail, newspapers
 | |||
| Grocery Bags and papers collections for recycling |
- Recycling batteries and old electronics
- Blogging weekly about green living
Needs improvement:
- Reading books on sustainability
- Studying and passing LEED AP certification
- Tracking water and electricity usage
- Riding public transportation once a week
- Purchasing carbon offset credits for personal travel through NC GreenPower
- Using reusable grocery bags (finally put the bags in my car so I don't forget them)
So over all, I am doing very good with many of my resolutions, however, I definitely bit off more than I can chew. I have several that I need to revisit and put on my daily and weekly to do list so that I get them accomplished. Hopefully, you can get some new ideas here for how you can do better at green living and becoming more sustainable.
