The 10 resolutions below are for people hoping to make their home more eco friendly in 2012!
So the question you should be asking yourself is how green are you willing to go in 2012?
1. Finish every project you start!
The most common thing about New Year’s resolutions is that they are forgotten. Yes that’s right! Unfortunately it’s not uncommon for people to drop out of their projects.

Basically you can find two types of green solar energy-thermal and light. Thermal energy is known as passive solar. This type of green solar energy is harnessed through the design and materials used to build structures. This can be done by integrating south facing windows and materials that store heat, like brick and stone, you can decrease your energy needs and build an energy efficient home.The thermal energy created by green solar energy is also used to heat water for solar hot water systems. The rays of the sun also make light and radiation that can be stored by solar panels to create free electricity! (Good

5: If you are ever about to pull over for a while turn the engine off! Trust me it’s worth it, plus you save
