Searching for something to get that hard to find gift for? Why not a “green” Christmas decoration. Or for those of you more PC – a “green” holiday decoration. A decoration gift will bring fond memories of you year after year. There are so many out there so why not get something from the sustainability shelf – to differentiate your gift and give it historical reference. Nothing says I love you - and the planet more than that. Here is an excerpt from http://green.yahoo.com/blog/the_conscious_consumer/25/sustainable-christmas-tree-decorations.html
• Stay away from tinsel and disposable ornaments to cut down on waste.
• Make your own decorations. Your best bet is to choose projects that allow you to use items you already own so you don't have to buy anything.
• When shopping for ornaments, buy the best quality that you afford, take good care of them, and pass them down to your kids.
• There are also several ornaments that make sustainability claims. Look for those that are made from reused, recycled, or reclaimed materials, or are Fair Trade Certified. Some more options worth checking out: Tin Can Angels, Everest Ornament, and Circuitboard Tree Ornament. WorldofGoods.com by eBay has hundreds to choose from.
• Buy vintage or, better yet, ask your grandmother to pass along ornaments she's no longer using.
Happy gift giving!
