Green holiday ideas cut waste and emissions
Earth Talk suggests gifts of services over goods to reduce clutter and waste. Consider homemade presents, experiences like massages or music lessons, or services such as childcare or tutoring. Use Secret Santa to limit gifts, and opt for LED lights to cut energy use. A real or living potted tree can reduce environmental impact and be kept for years.
