How to Go Green at Christmas: Eco-Friendly Decorations, Gifts and More
Basics for Beginners
The end of year holidays, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa and more, can be one of the most expensive times of the year, with every family buying gifts, decorations, wrapping paper, luxury food items, and more. It can also have a huge impact on the environment, causing a vast amount of waste to end up in landfills all over the world. This waste can linger for years, emitting greenhouse gases that damage the ozone layer and forcing us to use more and more land to cope with our cast offs.
If you are concerned about the environment, now is the time to start planning your next holiday, in order to make it a green one. No matter what you celebrate, you can make your festivities more eco-friendly by taking measures to reduce your carbon footprint and minimize your consumption of a wide range of holiday-related items.
From greeting cards to wrapping paper, live trees to ornaments and other decorations, join the green revolution by voting with your wallet for cleaner, greener options. Your shopping can make a difference as you conserve, not consume, save instead of spend.
The aim of this guide is to not only help you save the planet, but save money too. With everyone looking to save money in this recession and still live well, learn how to make the most of what you have and aid the environment at the same time. Shopping responsibly is not just about shopping frugally, but sustainably. The best gift we can give our family is a cleaner, greener planet they can enjoy for years to come.
