In a way you can help the animal and create good karma because if you are mindful and do good things that animal gives you energy to do those things. You give the animal a chance that it wouldn't have had to do good and they can be reborn as a higher being. Everything in moderation- middle way

Love the list but if you own your own karma, how can you be okay with eating meat at all knowing that you would then be responsible for slaughtering a sentient being?

Thank you for your kind words regarding adopting rescue dogs. I am a canine companion volunteer at the Humane Society in my town, and the experience has enhanced my life. It is such a heartwarming feeling when one of our dogs leaves the shelter for a forever home.

From a Dutch perspective, some of them are pretty ‘standard’ (like cycling an hour a day to get to work and back).

Do you have green energy suppliers in the States (like power services which generate their power from alternative sources, like wind, solar power or tidal power)? I’d add them to the list, ’cause your laptop just won’t run without it

I’ve decided to do all of what you suggest above – but under the auspices of one “resolution” or intention: watch my consumption, both in and out! Food, money, speech, energy…

Thanks for posting!

Waylon, I liked your resolution about not filling in the gaps….it’s akin to my own resolutions: Do One Less Thing, and Focus.

Those two things bring me back to mindful activity, mindful living, mindful relationships. If I’m focussed in on the person and situation, they know that I consider them/it very important. And in a world where too many us feel unworthy, this is a resolution I must do.

I particularly like the don’t fill in the gap suggestion.

As far as having a green, healthy, clean home, one of the best things you can do is simply not wear shoes in the house.

A resolution I’m considering: Let go.
