A Sustainable Holiday
How eco-friendly is your gift?
After sawing down a Christmas tree a few weeks ago at a North Carolina tree farm, I wondered if I should have been working the aisles or the internet for an artificial tree. What about tree lights? holiday food? The questions kept coming.
Last weekend I chopped some wood for a cozy night around the fireplace and before I knew it, when the fire was roaring, the house seemed colder. All of these questions convinced me to start researching. I came across this Eco-Friendly Holiday Guide that answers most of the common questions, and more. If you have any other tips, please send them along.
