Here are some things you can do to reduce your own carbon footprint this season and have a green Christmas: Recyclable Wrapping Paper. The amount of wrapping paper that this continent uses is absolutely disgusting, and it’s a complete waste of resources and money. Take It Easy On the Consumerism. Probably not.

Now that the holiday season is underway, it’s probably a little difficult to scale back the consumerism. These make great gifts that can be environmentally friendly, as well as consumable so that they aren’t cluttering up the homes of your friends and relatives. Know What You are Buying. Don’t Forget the Wrapping.

Paper shredders. These are no more green than just recycling that pile of paper. In fact, buying yet another gadget made in China is worse than burning that paper. All the consuming in the world isn’t going to help one bit. Stop consuming for consumption sake. Disposable diapers. Reuse and repurpose.
