2008 is almost upon us! That means it’s time to put pen to paper and write our New Year’s Resolutions. There is one set of resolutions we’re determined to keep this year, and that’s our resolutions for lightening our load on Mother Earth.
We’d like to inspire all of you to come up with a couple of great Green New Year’s Resolutions of your own!

To get your creative juices flowing, we the people of Low Impact Living are offering up our own resolutions for 2008. We hope you will join us in making 2008 our most low-impact year yet!
“In 2008 I plan to get a bike to run errands, use my clothes dryer less than 5 times during the year, and go to the local farmer’s market at least once each month. Oh, and convert another 10,000 people to embracing the good low-impact life!” –Jessica Jensen, Co-Founder, Low Impact Living
“In 2008 I aspire to stop eating beef and other eco-ugly foods like farm-raised salmon & Chilean seabass. I also hope to buy a used biodiesel car so that we’re a 100% green vehicle family. And I’ll finish turning our yard into a beautiful native plant garden.” – Jason Pelletier, Co-Founder, Low Impact Living
“I would like to try to convert all of my personal care items to organic products. While renovating our house I would like to use all Energy Star appliances, water saving fixtures, and green materials.” — Shayna Prunier, Director of Business Development, Low Impact Living
“I resolve to call my Building Manager once a month to ask that he provide a recycling bin for me and other building residents – until one is provided. — Monica Schenk, Sales & Marketing Manager, Low Impact Living
We look forward to hearing from you! And Happy New Year!!

In the spring, I will visit my neighbors who display chemical lawn treatment signs, and ask them to consider organic, non-toxic technology.

This year I resolve to have a “Go Green” party. In my area (the mid-west) I am continuously invited to food/consumerism centered parties that I truely feel are more about women just wanting to get out of the house and socialize while eating something yummy. I aspire to have a party modeled on these parties with an enviromental theme. I will serve yummy, local,vegetarian food (on real plates), pass out some reusable bags and some information and websites on recycled paper, and instead of asking them to buy anything I will ask them to help me organize a party with their circle of friends and family. In this way maybe I can start something positive that will touch as many women’s lives as Pampered Chef or Home and Garden has.
