TreeHugger Picks: Celebrating a Green Christmas
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 12.25.06
Christmas is here, and for many a TreeHugger, it means convening with family & friends, green gift giving and one last hug of the Christmas tree. Here are some ways to be sure your Christmas celebrations are a little greener.
1) If you didn't follow Danny Seo's advice for green gift wrapping, be sure all that paper gets properly recycled.
2) When it comes to what's under the paper, if you didn't reference our green gift guide, we hope you at least bought from an online eco-store and sprung for the Carbonfree shipping.
3) Learn the carbon load of listening to carols before opening the door to listen.
4) When it's all said and done, recycle your Christmas tree if you went with a cut tree this year.
