Resolutions from Treehugger

Last year Treehugger.com asked readers to send in their New Year's resolutions. Yesterday they republished the list on the web site:

stop eating factory farmed meat

Confront one climate skeptic per week.

Im already a good cook, but now I want to become a cook who is great at making healthier foods.

change to low energy light bulbs

buy only recycled toilet paper

I resolve to walk 5 miles UP HILL, EACH WAY to school and/or work every day JUST to save carbon emissions!

Turn off my computer at night.

Use the car (at least) one less day a week.

eating healthier - Im a vegetarian and try to do the farmers market thing, but this year I want to respolve to try and really eat locally and choose fresh over packaged wherever possible. To really take my food choices seriously.

I want to try and not buy anything "new" over the next year.

Actually start carrying around a re-usable bag for shopping

Eat one entirely local meal per week

Give away 5 copies of An Inconvenient Truth or Who Killed the Electric Car?

none of the above, I am also perfect.

Although I am FAR from perfect, I did make and keep many of these resolutions. Some weren't really resolutions, but I did them (well, just because). I do try to buy local and/or organic whenever possible. My best change (not really a resolution) was to start carrying around bags in the back of my car for shopping. My resolution from this list (new for 2008) might be to see Who Killed the Electric Car?

BTW If a statement ends with a title ending in a question mark, what's the proper punctuation????

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa . "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal." My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active. Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside. December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity. I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food). Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country . President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" . Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group. The...

What if... The Delivery

Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska. When she opened the box, she was confused. Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag. When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun. She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind. During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt. When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird. The friend was in a state of denial. Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments. She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt. After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened. The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
