Do you make new year's resolutions? Last year, I resolved to turn in by 11 pm every night, but pushed it to midnight (or later) more often than not.
This year, make a resolution you can keep by committing to make greener choices. We're making it even easier for you to find out which eco-friendly products deserve your time and support. Read more about it here >>
Will you make a new year's resolution for 2009? Why or why not?

Ecoscene will attend tonight's Obama rally in Chicago. (We have tickets!) Catch our live blogging updates from Grant Park on Twitter.
I'm excited to attend because I was recently fortunate to hear Howard Learner, Energy and Environment advisor to Barack Obama, speak about what we should expect from the next president on the environment.
He outlined Obama's five big ideas for the environment:
1. Pursue energy efficient technologies - good for job creation, the economy, and the environment
2. Recognize the overlap of national security, economy, and environment - Obama wants to develop cleaner cars that are more fuel efficient, which would support the US auto industry and reduce our dependence on foreign oil
3. Reinvest in public transit and inner city rail - Learner noted that Obama would be the first president elected from an urban setting in 80 years, bringing greater understanding of the vital importance of public transportation
4. Make progress with renewable energy - for example, supporting the development and implementation of wind power, which is good for rural economic development
5. Work with global leaders for international cooperation - come together to deal with global warming problems now, and invest in our economy to solve these issues
