Merry Christmas to everyone! I adore the holiday season but I can’t help noticing how much waste there is at Christmas time. Trees that don’t get replanted or recycled, wrapping paper that gets thrown away after one use and other such common holiday sights make me a little bit sad.

To combat that sadness I’ve come up with a list of my green goals for the new year. I have many small goals that I want to accomplish in 2010 but there are two major green goals that I am aiming to make sure really happen this year:

1. Compost! I kept saying all year long that I was going to compost. I waste way more food than I should. I tend to over-purchase produce and then have to get rid of it. I’m trying to get better about that but at least if I compost it won’t completely go to waste.
2. Get my LEED certification. I want to do LEED training early this year so that I can get my LEED certification. I really want to get better at implementing green business practices in my small business and these classes would teach me how to do that.

I am enjoying Christmas but I also think it’s a good time to set some green goals for next year since it’s such a wasteful holiday. What do you think about this?
