Environmentally Aware - Green Holiday and Gifting
Buy recycled wrapping paper
2. Use e-cards and Evites (household waste increases 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day)
3. Make or buy reusable gift bags (and make the gifts inside them, or get them used from eBay or your local Buy Nothing group)
4. Use biodegradable shipping “peanuts” to protect mailed packages (after considering whether you truly need to send something)
5. If you choose to purchase Christimas lights, get the LED ones (they have a 20-year life and use 90% less energy than standard lights)
Awareness is the beginning. Then comes behavior.
Then others notice your behavior and are inspired.
Then we get to cherish and enjoy and preserve our beautiful Earth.
Awareness is the beginning.
