Here are your top 25 eco resolutions for the new school year: good work people!!!

  3. Take on a leadership role in your fave enviro org
  4. Walk or bike to school instead of driving
  5. Share vegan snacks with classmates
  6. Plant a winter garden
  7. Take public transportation
  8. Start composting
  9. Teach kids to cook kind foods
  10. Host monthly clothing swap & potluck party
