The holidays are a time of giving but unfortunately, also a time of excess waste. When you think about how your trash can might look after Christmas morning, and consider that all your neighbors looks the same, trying to be more green during the holidays sounds more and more appealing. Here are some quick and easy tips for being more green this holiday season.
1. Shop Local. Less driving, more money back into your community and much less packaging from local stores than big box stores.
2. LED Lights. LED Christmas lights are 90% more efficient than the traditional lights and last twice as long
3. Real Christmas Tree. Studies have shown real trees are more environmentally friendly that fake ones.
4. Recycled and recyclable wrapping paper.
5. Send eCards or recycled paper cards. Each year, 300,000 trees will be cut down to make holiday cards
6. Recycle your Christmas Tree at the end of the year.
7. Use reusable bags for all shopping, not just for groceries.
