First comes the New Year, and then comes the resolutions.  With eco awareness on the rise, it's not surprising that many New Year's resolutions are to start living green.   While green living may be the new buzz word, to start doing it may take some definition.

1. Organics: visit your local farmer's market for organic fruits and veggies and use organic personal care and clothing from natural fibers.

2. Recycling: recycle everything! Paper, materials, home items, and more!

3. Energy efficiency: purchase energy efficient appliances.  Buy and use renewable or wind energy and monitor your use of energy.

4. Water: get to know what is in your water and use it efficiently.

5. Indoor air quality: use chemical free cleaners, live plants, sustainable fabrics and paint in your home. Your indoor air quality will improve and you'll support sustainable businesses producing green products.

6. Green your home: Reduce your use of paper and eliminate junk mail.

7. Innovate and inspire your employer and coworkers and green your work.

8. Green your travel.

9. Make every day choices matter.

10. Explore which alternative transportation option is interesting to you.
