It's Not Too Late for a "Green" Christmas
It's getting close --- Here at the Green Dud's place it is less than C-1 (Christmas -1 day).
Here are some green ideas for a green Christmas:
(1) Buy a live (balled) tree instead of cutting down a livbe tree and throwing it in a landfill.
>> Get some credit back if you (like me) mulch the tree instead of throwing it in the trash).
>> Get some credit back if the tree was grown w/o extra chemicals and such.
(2) Get some new LED lights. they are brighter and use way less electricity and should LAST A LONG time. When your old strands are no longer working - Go with LEDS.
>> Added Bonus - no toxic mercury in LEDs!
(3) Use paper shopping bags to wrap your presents and then recycle them instead of throwing them out with the trash.
(4) Recycle what you can of gift packaging (cardboard and paper are an easy one ... #6 PS if you ahve a place to take it.
>> Get some extra credit for buying gifts with minimla or green type packaging.
(5) Whatever type of tree you choose - consider recycled ornaments.
