Not normally one to go for the fabled New Year’s Resolutions, I figure that with the recent birth of Treading Lighter, I have something worthwhile to aim for. And so, here are Treading Lighter’s Goals for 2009:

1. Use the car less (get a bike, use public transport, walk).
2. Reduce the amount of chemical products used in the house; and if they are still needed, replace them with environmentally friendlier alternatives.
3. Grow some veggies and build a compost heap.

As you can see, they don’t look all that hard, but that’s intentional – it’s only early days for me and my family yet. I don’t want to scare them by becoming an eco-zealot overnight!

Leave us a comment with your goals for 2009, we may feature them in a follow up post.
