A Green Resolution

This is the time of the year when everyone is concerned with resolutions for the new year. Why not resolve to do your part to keep the planet green. Close your eyes for a moment and picture your favorite park in shades of brown with lots of cement. Then, picture in your mind that same park in shades of green with plenty of trees, flowers and bushes. Which scene do you prefer? Of course, there are those parks that do not have much green, such a Bryce or Arches in Utah and they are beautiful beyond words. There green takes on a different meaning as it truly does when it comes to “being green”. When we speak of “being green”, it means different things to different people. Overall, it means to protect and care for our planet. It means to take an active role in maintaining, not using and destroying.

Stop for a moment, think about how you, one person can make a difference. If your an outdoor person, you have many options; plant a tree or donate to a cause that plants millions of trees. If you have weeds, pick them, don’t put a chemical on them. Remember, the birds and other small critters in the area are a part of our environment and do not deserve to be served a diet of chemicals. If you are an indoor person, you can help by using green products to clean yourself, your laundry and your house. To find out more about your options, check out the link Green Home.
