NRDC policy experts will share their New Year's resolutions and hopes for 2010 below. It's shaping up to be a critical year for the environment with clean energy and climate legislation before the Senate and a growing public awareness of the need for more sustainable solutions. But it won't happen without all of us making the commitment to change -- whether we're talking about national policy or our own daily decisions. We'd love to hear your resolutions, too. Share them in the Comments sections, via Twitter or at OnEarth magazine's Greenlight for citizen journalists. And take a moment now to tell your senators to pass a strong climate and energy bill.
