* CREATE – Your own ornaments and decorations:

Not only will this project enables us to come close to the mother Nature, but it is a creative engine rev-up! Use berries, pine cones, gingerbread cookies, old wrapping paper, ribbons and bows, decorate the tree, and back home! I still do not feel creative? Several online retailers offer ornaments and decorations made from recycled materials!

* Save – cash it! Use LED Lights:

While I think that buying an artificial tree will help the environment. It turns out, these artificial Christmas trees, not as green as we want them. A recent article in The Oprah Magazine, noted that it is an artificial tree for 20 years, have a lower carbon footprint than buying a real tree!

* Alternatives – 3 Option

This year, it visited the local home improvement store or nursery, and purchase of live potted Christmas tree. There are places that offer adoption / rental service, and will be delivered live, potted tree in the home (along with singing dancing elf!), I’ll pick it up after the holidays and re-plant the trees in areas devastated in the 2007 fires.

* PACK IT – Mail Setup

All e-mail during cross-country with his family and friends in the holidays, do not use packing peanuts. Instead, the weekly ads and crush the balls of paper used for filling the bag and voila! There is a well-padded package is on track to compel someone to a wonderful holiday!
