Living Green During the Holidays

l Use real dishes and flatware instead of serving food on paper or styrofoam at holiday parties. If there aren’t enough to go around, use recycled paper products or use plastic plates and cups, which can be washed and used many times.

l Send an e-card with a photo of your family and a holiday wish, or e-vite if you’re hosting a party (this saves paper and postage).

l Reduce wrapping by making it a part of the gift. Put presents in baskets, terra cotta garden pots or a reusable shopping bag.

l Use LED lights instead of conventional lights.

l Look for gifts with an environmental message: refillable thermos, a nature book, items made from recycled materials or products with rechargeable batteries.
