Tips on Being Green at the Holidays
-Bring your own reusable bags when shopping – keep them in the car so they’re always available
-Give in ways that also support your community, such as tickets to local theater performances and concerts, museum memberships, and gift certificates for services from local merchants
-Including rechargeable batteries and a charger with electronic gifts
-Use LED lights. They work in all temperatures, start up fast, and make nicer light than CFL’s
-Buy a live tree that is native to your area and plant it after the holidays
-Use real plates and cutlery and cloth napkins when entertaining
-Compost food scraps to cut down on waste.
-and of course, give the gift of Hellocycle! With all of the extra eating and drinking going on, the holidays are a great time to start. Use the offer code ‘hello’ for your first month free.
