This list contains goals which will save money and save the environment in some way. Saving the environment has become a major focus of so many, much like boiling the ocean. It’s not something that can be done overnight, but when you make efforts to do things in steps, it’s changing your lifestyle to consuming less, and using less. The end result is actually spending less money (funny how doing good stuff actually cost less in the end).
The Environmental footprint is a good indicator of how you live, and trying to reduce that footprint will actually save money. Some things on this list I’ve done, some I’m working on doing but in the end to make a goal list work, you need to make a real goal – not recycle more plastic, but actually state recycle all my plastic sacks for a month. Then do the goal! Work in small steps and enjoy the feeling of actually being able to complete something!
