STOP GLOBAL WARMING HOLIDAY TIPS
With the holidays right around the corner, here are a few smart tips that can help reduce your impact on global warming:
* Choose energy-efficient LED holiday lights, which use 80% less energy.
* Select alternatives to wasteful paper gift wrapping -- scarves, newspaper, reusable boxes, tins and jars. If you buy paper, always choose recycled and save wrapping for re-use.
* Give the gift of an experience, rather than material goods, and save resources. Ideas include: theatre and concert tickets; museum memberships; and season tickets to sporting events.
* Shop early and avoid overnight shipping. Ground shipping saves more fuel than air shipping.
* Buy cards made from post-consumer recycled paper, or send holiday email greetings.
* Buy a living tree and plant it after the holidays.
