Bamboo Magazine

New Year. New you. While agreed it is an obvious theme to start 2012, it was not without banter around our editorial table. The pressure of New Year resolutions daunts some of us, but I love the inspiring nature of them. It is a time when we stop and consider: what can I do differently this year to feel better or do better? What will I change this year to make a difference in my life?

And, suddenly, inspiration can shift to intimidation. We get it. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Small choices can create positive change, which is the very core of Bamboo Magazine. Switching even one of your cosmetic products to something featured in Green Beauty means your body is being exposed to less nasty ingredients; trying one of the recipes from Very Veggie or From Scratch means discovering the ease and simplicity of cooking while reducing the processed food on your table; and taking the advice of Green Keener means ensuring that what you buy really is an enjoyable and eco choice.

Happy New Year from all of us at Bamboo Magazine. We are starting 2012 off with a new look. In each monthly issue you will continue to find interesting, entertaining and inspiring articles that make eco choices easy. Easy eco choices—a manageable resolution to keep throughout the year.
