TURN GOALS INTO ACCOMPLISHMENTS
IN 2021
People worldwide make New Year’s resolutions every year in an attempt to improve their lives.
Common resolutions are to exercise more, eat healthier, save money, lose weight and reduce
stress. Yet, 80% of people agree that most people won’t stick to their resolutions. This pessimism
is somewhat justified. Only 4% of people report following through on all of the resolutions they
personally set.

CAMPING WITH
A CONSCIENCE
It’s holiday time and getting out into nature is important for your health, both mental and
physical. Getting fresh air has been proven to improve mood, reduce stress and even lower blood
pressure. Camping in the natural world is a great way to improve your wellbeing, however,
you should take precautions to preserve the wellbeing of the world around you too. Nature is
beautiful and precious, and while having fun is important, it is equally as important to be careful
to leave no damage behind. Here are some of our top tips for eco-friendly camping.
