When will it end?

It’s more appreciative to receive something like that. I know the feeling, because last Christmas my daughter gave me this cute angel for our Christmas tree. And she made that using papers. And she’s only 8 years old. But she’s already creative. Is it more wonderful to receive something that comes from their hearts? I’m a proud Mom i must say!

But we need to be always environmentally aware not only during holiday season. You gave a good point Lisa with your comment.

Skipping the bag at check out is one of my pet practices year round.

There is another one and that was, if decorating with lights like we do, use LEDs (light emitting diodes) versus incandescents lights. The energy savings are tremendous. On the electricity bill it cost pennies a day to run LEDs versus dollars a day, which in turn lowers the carbon footprint. LEDs also last longer and run cooler so the possibility of the LEDs burning down the dried tree is not an issue.

The new energy star sets only use $6.00 in electricity a year! Because they help generate their own power as they as spinning. Brilliant!

As an added method how about when going out for the holiday shopping routine, doing more online shopping and going with gifts like gift certificates that can be emailed. Less consumer travel less wasted fuel(not to mention that it’s a great way to shop for that impossible to shop fpr person ;)

Love the article by the way!

I do hope that hybrids get cheaper so I may own one soon. It will be great to drive knowing I’m not poluting as much.
