Friends, we need not wait for New Year’s Day to make a resolution, and so I will give you this promise.  With a hopeful heart, I will strive to live more sustainably.  I will recognize that sustainability is not easy, and so I will choose something hard to do each day.  And when I fail, when I look in my mirror at night and see the face of someone who says one thing but does another, I will do so with as much grace as possible.  I will trust that tomorrow is another day, another opportunity to be better.
