Make Your Holidays Green!

The holiday season often brings out our gluttonous side due to the overwhelming amount of food and gifts we have all come to expect.  Every year our mailboxes are stuffed with holiday cards and trips to the grocery store become more and more frequent. Between office parties, “friendsgiving”, and the usual holiday gatherings we find ourselves eating our way through the winter months not considering the consequences. This behavior affects more than just our waistlines. We want to remind you to be conscious of disposing waste this season. Check out these Green alternatives to holiday traditions:
  • Bring your own reusable bags when you go grocery shopping.  Many stores will reward you with a discount! 
  • Send an e-card! There are many electronic services that allow you to custom design your own personal e-card including photos!
  • Keep your leftovers fresh with recyclable aluminum foil, rather than plastic wrap!
  • Out with the old, in with the new! Rather than disposing of used and outdated cell phones or clothing, donate the items to a shelter or charity!
