Auld Lang Syne - Actions for a Green Year

Auld Lang Syne is on my mind today, not only because it's what is traditionally sung at midnight, but because of what it means.  Auld Lang Syne is sung at this time because it symbolizes endings and new beginnings.  The noise and bustle of the holidays is over and we are entering a hopeful new year.  As you look back over the previous year and prepare to ring in the new, think about how you can make your year, your community, and your world better.
