Tips for treading lightly in 2012!
It's the start of another year and a good time to reflect on what we're doing and how it impacts on the earth. Take some time to explore ideas for doing more to lessen your impact on the earth. There are some great ideas at these sites:
- Queen of Green - The Suzuki Foundation's Lindsay Coulter provides great advice for green actions
- Smarter Living - A resource on the US-based Natural Resources Defence Council's website
Let us know if you're aware of other websites or blogs with good tips for green change! In the meantime, Happy New Year Hamilton!
