Happy New Year!  It’s time to make and proclaim this year’s resolutions.  Last year, I had two goals: study Japanese and go running regularly. I definitely failed on the first goal, but I did manage to create and maintain a solid running schedule for all of 2018.  Now that I know I can keep a resolution, it’s time to challenge myself a little more.

For 2019, I want to stop buying bottled water.  I hate seeing the amount of PET bottles I create every day.  I know they get recycled, but I think my first step should be to reduce the number of bottles I create.  To this end, I have invested in a good, lightweight water bottle that I can carry with me everywhere.  I hope that having this refillable container will prevent me from purchasing drinks from the vending machine.  No more PET bottles for Molly Coyle!

What are your resolutions for 2019?

(Too many PET bottles!)
