If you're hosting Christmas festivities this year, plan to use reusable dinnerware and cups, as well as cloth napkins, to reduce the waste your meal creates. Or, opt for recycled content and biodegradable disposable options if the clean up is too intimidating.

Also consider the food you are putting on the plates. Cook up a truly sustainable Christmas meal filled with locally-sourced and organic foods. You'll delight both your guests and the earth by serving green Christmas meal choices.
