The Lazy Environmentalist shares his "Eco-Resolutions" for 2008 and encourages you to make some green resolutions of your own.

If your New Year's resolution is to lose the extra pounds that came uninvited for Thanksgiving and stayed right through Christmas, you might be seeking a little guidance on the best way to send those pesky pounds packing.

There's no shortage of doctor-sanctioned diet books dueling for your dollars; some have valuable advice while others are nearly worthless, if not downright damaging.

When you look at it, a New Year’s resolution is really nothing more than a commitment to breaking a bad habit. A vow to get in shape, eat better, or meditate more often is another way of announcing your plans to stop avoiding the gym, eating junk food, or skipping your daily meditation.

This clinical approach to resolution making can be the key to resolution keeping. Resolving to bring about massive change in your life in the course of one year is an incredible amount of pressure; simply deciding to change your behavior may add a degree of nonchalance that can lead to success.
