Environmentally Friendly Holiday Giving
When you think about all the peripherals that go with gift giving - the giftwrap, cards or gift tags, ribbon, manufacturer's packaging (both of the gift and of the giftwrap, cards, tags, ribbon) - you suddenly realise how much wastage our gestures of generosity can create.
Squidoo Lensmaster Evelyn Saenz has put together an excellent lens on Inexpensive Eco-Friendly Christmas ideas. Consider passing on family toys, or making your own giftwrap, cards, and tree ornaments.
Lensmaster CleanerLife has found some unique Eco-Friendly Christmas Gifts, Presents and Decorations, that not only feature recycle items that would often find their way into the landfill, but also provide income to artists and crafters in countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and Haiti.
Lensmaster AJ2008's lens is on the Twelve Days of a Green & Ethical Christmas, which raises awareness of the environmental and ethical footprint of our gifts and festivities, and has some good suggestions for alternatives.
