It's the Holiday Season! Why not give a green gift (to the earth) by saving energy and resources this month? With a little preparation you can have an environmentally friendly holiday.

Have a Green Holiday
|
Here are ten simple suggestions you can use that will benefit the environment in the season of giving.
1. Before you buy, take inventory of what you already have. Don't create clutter by purchasing more wrapping paper and ribbon than you will use. Purchase only what you need and can recycle.
2. Carry reusable bags when shopping. Use the bags you carry your groceries in, or an old paper shopping bag from a department store. That way you will create less waste.
3. Consider buying consumable gifts, such as tickets to a show, a gift card to a favorite restaurant, or something edible. These gifts don't create clutter.
4. Shop on the web for holiday gifts. This will save you time running from store to store and fighting the crowds. Many sites offer free shipping if you shop early and web only sales, so you can get some great deals.
