Easy Green Christmas Tips

Green Holiday Rush Guide

No, I’m not talking about telecommuting your Christmas toast or “family-styling” your silverware.  No, these are easy green tips for Christmas:

Shop Last Minute online. Check out Discovery Channel’s website treehugger.com. Specifically their Holiday Guide’s Top Green Gifts for 2007 (shh, we’re in there)

Inflate those tires! It’s a biggie:

[Christmas is a big travel day] X [properly inflated tires] = [tons of saved gas] (that’s a multi-variable Calculus education people)

Carpool. Yeah, he’s annoying, but pick up Uncle Lester on the way. You can give him a jigsaw puzzle in the backseat and every time he’s about to finish, veer into warning bumps in the break-down lane.

Eat organic, buy local, reuse grocery bags.  I know, ham-flavored pesticides are hip new Christmas trend, but stick with the organic stuff.

Use cloth v paper napkins – Do you really want a see-thru paper napkin over Uncle Lester’s lap when he decides his belly needs a little “breathing room”

Play. In general, the more you’re outside sledding, the less energy you’re using inside watching the big screen.

Have your own Macy’s Christmas Parade! Okay, now I’m being silly.

Now for those who say, “hey, that sounded  like your Easy Green Thanksgiving Tips post” um, it is. But sacrifices have to be made for our new GreenDimers, folks.

Happy Holidays, (you too, DMA)
