As we ring in the New Year, we, at The Refinishing Touch are reflecting on the past year while contemplating New Year's resolutions for 2009. What will be the most popular resolution of the year? While many will make traditional resolutions such as exercise more and lose weight, get out of debt and/or spend more time with friends and family, we encourage you to think about a resolution that will count towards something on a larger scale- A resolution that will not only benefit and impact you, but also the entire planet and its future. We encourage you to resolve to going green in the New Year for a new greener you - for both you and your business.

In an article entitled, "Initiatives- New Year's Resolutions- Addressing the good, the bad, the ugly and the hopeful..." it highlighted 2008 and the trend to go green. Going green has become such a common buzz word over the past few years and within the past years, however, more can be done to help the initiative. During 2008, LEED-certified buildings were popping up left and right, while a significant number of professionals have become LEED accredited. Many companies have joined the U.S.Green Building Council, while many individuals are living, shopping and working daily in green buildings. Small changes can be made to help impact the big the picture of saving the environment we live in. Think about 3 ways you can do your part to go green this year: recycle, become more energy efficient and reuse existing materials.

So why not join the green effort and do your part in 2009? This is a resolution that will help improve your life and all those around you, including the future of the world. We, at The Refinishing Touch, believe in the green movement and it's our resolution to continue to help the environment and our business partners go green through refinishing existing assets. We encourage those who have not adopted the green movement yet to do so in 2009. Make strides to go green in 2009 and let's see where 2009 will LEED us.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy and green New Year from all of us at The Refinishing Touch.
