My Eco New Year Resolutions

In my last post, I listed my new year resolutions but guess what?… There's more! Although 2021 has already started, I wanted to write a separate blog post for eco-friendly and sustainable goals I have for this year. Being a student means there are plenty of goals I can't reach with my limited resources and budget. So I've decided to keep these as realistic and accessible for me as possible- especially if I want to achieve them all in one year. I don't have the budget to invest in a micro-fibre filter or completely off-set my carbon footprint and I don't have to do that to help the environment.

My New Year Resolutions- 2021

Normally, I disagree with people waiting until the new year to make drastic changes, I think we should all be able to start making changes to our lifestyles any time of year.

Setting up new year goals will help bring a little structure to our lives- something we have all been lacking this year- and give you something to look forward to doing in 2021. Considering how bad 2020 has been, I think we should view 2021 as a fresh start and allow ourselves to look forward to the future. I'm aware that the majority of the year might be a bit of a "write-off" like 2020 has been so I've tried to keep these realistic under the circumstances. So without further ado, here are my new year resolutions for 2021...
