A “Green” Christmas...
The snowy image of a White Christmas is the picture postcard version of the perfect holiday scene. We are always guaranteed of this winter wonderland here at the North Pole every Christmas … and just about every day of the year! But this year, I’m asking everyone to turn their thoughts to a “greener” holiday. Did you know that in the United States alone, the trash just from wrapping paper and shopping bags totals four million tons?? And the garbage thrown away increases 25 percent between Thanksgiving and Christmas! Everyone loves the beautiful packages on Christmas Day — that’s part of the joy. But here’s a thought: When you go Christmas shopping, take along leftover bags or your own canvas tote and put your purchases in there, rather than getting a bag at every store. Then, think about buying recyclable gift wrap, or using the colorful comics from the Sunday newspaper. Then you can put a note on the card that says, “Your gift also includes recyclable wrapping. Please be sure to recycle!”
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle this Christmas.
Love,
Santa
