Greener Holidays

Whether you celebrate Chanukah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa or them all, take steps to do so with a smaller carbon footprint. Try these top tips:
-
If you want to decorate with a live tree, then plant it outdoors, take this (entertaining, smart) advice from Yew Dell Garden's Paul Cappiello.
-
If you buy a cut tree, skip the shiny "icicles" so it can be mulched and composted after the holidays.
-
If you decorate with lights, choose LEDs and turn them off before you go to bed.
-
Plan meals using more local ingredients.
-
Wrap gifts with plain paper neither shiny nor plasticized, so it can be recycled. Better, wrap in reusable fabric, such as a bandana, towel, etc.
-
If you receive a gift that replaces a current possession, ensure that someone else can use it.
-
Have folks on your list who don't need more stuff? Donate to LCAN and your favorite local environmental groups in their honor!
