New Years Resolutions from Treehugger
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 01. 1.07
We asked each of our writers to contribute some of their resolutions for the year; Only seven responded because the rest are perfect. Some are easy; some are daunting.

Here are a few recommended websites.
I started carrying around reusable shopping bags last fall -- I highly recommend the string kind. The benefits are numerous -- you can fit TONS of groceries in them, the handles don't hurt your hands as much when the bag is full, cashiers/baggers find them interesting, and some stores even offer small financial incentives (like $0.05 per bag taken off your order). Not to mention the warm fuzzy goodness of making a difference! :-)
The hardest part is training yourself to grab them on your way out the door!
happy new years all. great resolutions esp. lloyd's, bravo.
We at Electra-Bicycle Conversions will have a tree planted in the customers name by the Arbor Day foundation for each kit bought by one of our customers this year. These trees will be planted in a fire ravaged area near Yellowstone National Park
will do the above, maybe share to friends so messages will lead to more awareness
All The Best,
