Whether you choose to get fit, save money, eat healthier, or take up a new hobby, we’re all making New Year’s resolutions right now. Why not choose to be more eco-friendly, while you’re at it? Reducing your carbon footprint can be easy when you have biodegradable supplies and eco-friendly products at your disposal, like the ones here at Whole Earth Packaging.

Here are some ways you can change your habits to help make the world a better place.

  • Try to use reusable shopping bags wherever you go. They’re easy enough to come by these days—and many stores even offer them for about 99 cents at the checkout counter.
  • You can also recycle or upcycle as much as possible. Don’t toss the vase that those flowers came in… use it for something else, instead! And be sure to check your city or town’s recycling schedule to get rid of those cans and bottles each week.
  • Shop more consciously. Take the time to look for products that are local, packaged in eco-friendly packaging, and are natural or organic.
  • Use eco-friendly plates and dishes whenever you can. They’re an environmentally friendly way to share food at parties all year long.
  • Try to make your home more energy efficient. If you have a manual thermostat, you’re likely to forget to turn it down when you leave for the day. Install a programmable thermostat to save some energy!

What are your eco-friendly living goals for the New Year?
