1) Consider purchasing gift certificates to movies or other places. This cuts down on using gift wrap.
2) Have toys or clothing you no longer want? Donate to Salvation Army.
3) Purchase paper and cards that have been made from recycled paper.
4) Use paper as opposed to metallic and plastic type wrapping which doesn't decompose as easily.
5) If you're going to purchase Christmas tree lights this year; consider buying LED light sets - they'll last far longer and use less electricity. My recent purchase will save me 90%. Don't be surprised though they are a bit more expensive.
6) Don't leave the outdoor light sets on. Purchase a timer. Save money on electricity.
7) Take your own bags while you are shopping. No sense in bringing home more plastic bags. If you do, remember to recycle them.
8) Shop online. Save gas money. Chances are you will get a better deal anyway if you are a saavy shopper that is.
9) If you are one that must use candles try beeswax. Please remember proper safety habits. If you have a pet of any kind I don't recommend candles at all.
10) Buy an environmentally friendly basket filled with "green" products and introduce friends to a better way of living.
