Green Resolutions

Penrith residents are being encouraged to make 2009 a year for the planet by committing to a green resolution with Planet Ark. The environmental foundation, along with Penrith Council, is urging people to take simple and easy steps to help the environment.

Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. Committing to a green resolution or two with Planet Ark is the easiest way to give the environment a Happy New Year and make a real difference. Everyone in the community shares this responsibility.

Planet Ark is asking people to visit the Green Resolutions page at PlanetArk.org and sign up to receive a weekly green resolution throughout the year. Each resolution will come with tips and links for helping to achieve it and will focus on areas as diverse as saving water, recycling right, reducing carbon emissions, getting close to nature and making a difference at work.

Every little bit helps! Recycling just one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a TV set for 3 hours and planting a single tree can result in the absorption of over one tonne of carbon dioxide throughout the life of the tree.

To make 2009 a year for the planet go to PlanetArk.org and sign up to receive your free weekly Green Resolutions environmental tips and tricks, and make a donation for the future.
