For those who were unable to come to the last EcoParents meeting, we distributed a great little flier from Hennepin County on "Greening Your Celebrations," which we also discussed quite a bit.
It's chocked full of great tips on how to reduce waste, save energy, and just generally reduce the additional negative environmental impacts associated with the holidays...25% more waste typically produced between Thanksgiving and New Years! Check it out online here.
At the meeting, we bdiscussed the tips and talked about some of the ones we plan to put into action this coming season. Make a comment about what YOU plan to do and be entered to win a string of 50 LED solar powered outdoor holiday lights!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and keep checking back for more ideas about greening our holidays!

I haven't purchased gift wrap in years! As my Grandma wisely taught me, I "save the paper" (and gift bags, ribbons, bows, etc.) from presents that are given to me, and reuse it. I also wrap things in plain brown paper, and let the kids color the packages for decoration.
