The holiday season is always a little nutty. Even though it’s coming to a close we have some tips for a greener holiday.
1. Send holiday cards electronically. If you like to keep it traditional, use recycled paper or send cards that use soy ink.
2.Use LED lights to decorate from now on. They’re 90% more efficient than traditional lights.
3. Carpool to holiday parties. The more the merrier, right?
4. Buy a real Christmas tree. Artificial trees are made with petroleum-based materials and sometimes shipped thousands of miles.
5. At the end of the holiday season, turn the tree into mulch through local city-sponsored programs.
6. Re-use gift bags or wrap gifts in recycled materials like comic books, old posters, or used calendars. It’s a great way to be creative and helpful for the environment.
7. Use soy or beeswax candles for holiday lighting ceremonies. These candles are made from renewable resources and last twice as long as traditional parrafin ones.
Happy Holidays!
Your S+K Family xx
