New year, new you....? The one resolution everyone should make and keep.

2017 is quickly ending and this time of the year brings all sorts of thoughts with it. From summing up achievements and failures obtained in the year just passed, to making resolutions for the year to come. Resolutions that most of us won't keep for longer than a few weeks/months at best (eat healthier, stick to that new diet, work more efficiently, find time for the family, get a boyfriend/girlfriend, start exercise...), and to be honest, resolutions that to me seem a bit selfish/self-indulgent if we are looking at the bigger picture... 

the World as we know it is on the verge of collapse: climate change (temperature and general weather patterns shifts, ocean acidification etc...), pollution, plastic, over exploiting of resources are just a few of the threats.  These threats  are bringing many species to collapse, and bringing devastating changes to our planet.  And, thus far we have no planet b... 

so my plead to you all is to think a bit larger scale this year with your resolutions, and if you had to make even just one to keep in 2018 is to make one step towards a more susteinable lifestyle 

need some ideas ?

1. Recycle more (especially plastic)
2. Reduce your rubbish (by doing the above, or why not trying buying with less packaging directly ?)
3. Eat less animal produces
4. Eat local and in season
5. Avoid shopping in big chains 
6. Less online shopping 
7. Travel more thoughtfully 
8. Walk/bike when you can 
9. Be involved in your community 
10. Help your neighbours 

happy new year all!!!!
