If your new year’s resolution is to make your home eco-friendly, you’re in luck! A couple new eco-contests can earn you some cool incentives for sticking to your green goal:

Green your home, win a 3-night stay at Hotel Carlton.** Low Impact Living, an eco-home website I occasionally write for, is kicking off the new year with a Green Home Contest. All you have to do is score your house’s green level by using Low Impact Living’s Household Environmental Impact Calculator, then pick out green projects you’ve finished or plan to finish. If your home’s the greenest of them all, Low Impact Living will put you up at Hotel Carlton, an eco-conscious hotel in San Francisco, for 3 nights. Get your entry in before Feb. 15; winner will be selected March 1.

Make a green video, win $5,000.** Just Do One, an online community for sustainable living, wants your best ideas for more sustainable living. Send in your best 3-minute video outlining your best go-eco idea, and you could win $5,000! Upload your work by March 1; winners will be announced April 1.

Want to win, but don’t know where to start? These five eco-resolutions to save you money in 2009** are a good starting point. Plus, other FilterForGood bloggers have lots of ideas for greening your home too. For example:

* Stefani’s post about how she went green in 2008 will give you lots of ideas for greening your 2009. Plus, knowing that Stefani already took these steps herself will hopefully encourage you — if she can do it, so can you!

* Sarah’s post about sweet-smelling green cleaners may entice you to make the switch to eco-friendly cleaning products for your home.

* Neil’s post about organic food can give you incentives to green your daily diet.

And if you want to think big, read Blake’s post about FREE green house plans. If you build it green, they will — be impressed by your energy savings?
