Anyone can green up the holiday season. Try these easy seven tips out…

  1. Make homemade eco friendly gifts instead of buying new, overpriced, bad for the environment gifts.
  2. Use LED lighting for all your holiday needs. LED tree lights, LED house lights, and special LED accessory lights.
  3. Use recycled wrapping paper for gifts. You can even make your own with homemade paper, old newspaper, or last year’s wrap. After festivities recycle the wrap again.
  4. Make it an earth friendly year by buying fewer overall gifts. Make time for your family and friends vs. purchasing products for them. I suggest a nature walk. Think it’s too cold? Read, 25 Reasons To Get Outside During Winter for ideas.
  5. Have a tree-free year, or at least learn more about the best Eco-Friendly Christmas Tree options.
  6. Host an Eco-Friendly Winter Party — Save Heat and Save Money!
  7. Green your holiday baking – use organic ingredients and eco-safe bake ware. No time to bake? Find the most Amazing Organic Holiday Cookies.
