Terrific ideas

These are all great ideas. Another great resolution to have is to carpool, take public transit, and combine trips whenever possible. These will all help in improving air quality.

Conservation And Less Cleaning Is the Best Green Resolution

My best New Year Resolution resquire sacrifice in my cleanness. It is especially true for me in water conservation since the U. S. A. is having critical drought in the South Eastern states. I will take less showers/baths, wash clothes or cars less often use less detergent and water, wear clothes for longer period, sometime microwave can also heat and kill off germs on dishes, clean house less often to conserve cleaners, etc..... That will not work for other people but certainly work for me.
