Earth Day Resolutions

Posted by Marlaina Quintana

In honor of Earth Day, I have been thinking of how it can act as a “Green New Years”. You know, on New Years, we all make resolutions to lose weight, eat healthier, read more, and the list goes on and on and on. But what about if we marked Earth Day in the same way and created our own personal environmental resolutions where we vow to take steps toward being more earth conscious in the upcoming year? Taking baby steps is better than doing nothing at all.

Through the work I’ve done with my clients at Hoffman York as part of our environmental marketing division, HY-brid, I have become more aware of my own personal environmental impact. I’m more conscious of products I use, recycling and using less energy. However, I know I have a long way to go. Just as many companies HY-brid helps to take their environmental responsibility to the next level, I am vowing to take mine to the next level as well.

The first item on my list this Earth Day is to change all my lighting at home to CFLs.
I’ve included some really cool links on the background of Earth Day as well as some things you can do at home or at work to become more environmentally responsible I wish you luck with all of your Earth Day resolutions!

Yesterday I made a point to use my travel mug for my morning coffee. I’d gotten out of the habit, and it’s such an easy thing. So that’s my resolution this Earth Day.

I had a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR evaluation yesterday morning! More to come on that. I also added to my compost. (I got my bin from Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful, http://www.kgmb.org last year.) My resolution is to get the office coffee ground recycling bins going. We have the buckets. I know what I want the labels to say. Now, we just need to create labels for them!
