The New Year is finally here and many people set out to make better-for-you resolutions such as quit smoking, start exercising, get organized and eat healthier. This year I challenge you to make a resolution that is not only good for YOU, but also good for our planet. Come check out my post on the SC Johnson Greener Choices blog for a few simple ways to reduce your carbon footprint this year.

What about the ingredients used in their products. how about are they going to change them. Reducing plastic packaging is a great start but all the chemicals & toxins in the products affect our health, the environment to be sustainable many points must be looked at and changed.
I agree that fast food companies have a long way to go in terms of their overall nutrition. I do not recommend fast food as a steady part of anybody’s diet. Sometimes, however, we are tempted (or begged, or forced due to traveling) to pick up a fast food meal. I started researching because I was curious about which fast food chains were making more of an effort than others and which product would be the best to choose from their menu. I am a firm believer in moderation in all aspects of life.
Yes, I love the tip to re-evaluate shopping habits. I’ve been trying to not only shop and buy less, but to re-use or re-purpose things I already have or don’t use. My latest “duh” moment is realizing that most of the paper I throw out can be recycled for use in my compost. So much better for the environment than going to the landfill!
