As the year comes to a close, we will all be making resolutions for the New Year to be better versions of ourselves and to make positive changes in our lives. Taking care of the planet is complimentary to taking care of ourselves. Let’s look at 20 ways one can pledge to be better, for the planet and therefore for oneself, in the coming year.

  1. Reduce/Avoid/Ditch PLASTIC BAGS at all costs

Buy nude veggies and fruits from your local market or vendors and not the plastic-clad ones. Supermarkets sell vegetables and fruits unnecessarily packed in plastic. And as we know by now, PLASTIC is a monster. So, make sure to carry your own cloth bag whenever you step out to buy something.

2. Say NO to SINGLE-USE BOTTLES and CUPS

Invest in a good reusable water-bottle and keep-cup and carry it with you always. You receive discounts and bonus loyalty points if you bring your own coffee mug to Starbucks. It is not only good for the planet but saves you a lot of money. So it’s a win-win.
