Have a Sustainable Holiday Season!

We all love the holiday season! Here’s some of our top tips for ensuring we all celebrate Sustainably!

Use Secret Santa:

Before the holiday season begins, put the names of family members/friends on separate slips of paper.
Take turns picking one name he name you pick is your gift recipient.
Your gift list for the adults in your family has just been shortened to one!

Get Creative:

Gift experiences rather than material things - create memories together!
Craft a personal gift, homemade creations can be the exactly what you need to celebrate with your loved ones - they will appreciate the extra time and care you put in.
Gifts of service, we can be so hung up on material things these days we don't realize how useful these types of gifts may be - gifting childcare to a parent, music lessons, household care etc can often be just what they need.

Think "Green" if buying this season:

Choose from recycled sources. Many individuals and small businesses have developed great products using recycled materials.
Look for locally made gifts - supporting your community and keeping your sources known.
Give ‘battery-free’ gifts. According to the EPA, about 40% of all battery sales occur during the holiday season. Discarded batteries are an environmental hazard.

Holiday Lighting:

Reduce the size of outdoor lighting displays. Saving electricity is also a way of giving, since conserving resources benefits everyone.
Use LED lights for house and Christmas tree lighting. LED lights use up to 95% less energy than larger, traditional holiday bulbs and last up to 100,000 hours when used indoor
Turn off tree lights and outdoor house decorative lighting at bedtime
