Greening The Holiday

 1. Decorate with LED lights; they are brighter AND more energy efficient.

2. If possible, use pesticide free trees and greens, don't forget to RECYCLE.

3. Carry your own bags from store to store.  How many trees would be saved if we did this?

4. Make your own wrapping paper or use fabric.

5. Give gifts that give back, see last post or be cognizant to the idea, because these products are everywhere.  For example:

TOMS uses pesticide free cotton and recycled materials.  For every pair of shoes you buy, TOMS donates a pair to a child in need.  I hear they're quite comfy.

 Buying a product, making a donation, supporting a heifer, all gifts that keep on giving.  Isn't that what the holidays are about?  Others will be GREEN with envy that they didn't think of being so altruistic!
