Have Yourself A Merry Green Christmas

© zone41

Going green is the IN thing, even during Christmas time. So how could you celebrate Christmas and still help the environment?

Here are just some of the things you can do:

1. Join a tree-planting drive. Name the trees after your nieces and nephews and ask them to take care of them if/whenever they can. Who knows, they might enjoy watching the trees grow.

2. Reuse still-decent Christmas wrappers. You could even make a collage using different wrappers.

3. Organic food basket. All the items are made from organic ingredients.

4. Recycled old Christmas decorations. Update them with some paint job or stick some accessories.

5. Give-away packets of seeds of fruit trees, vegetables or flowers. You could even give an herb in a small pot.

6. Express your creativity. Make Christmas tree decorations out of old carton boxes, tin cans, plastic bottles, etc. The children will definitely enjoy making them.

7. During parties, use real utensils, plates and cups rather than plastic ones. That's less garbage to throw out.

8. Finally, don't forget to segregate the wastes into recyclables and non-recyclables.

So...are you planning to go green this Christmas?
