This holiday season, green your holiday decor and give mother nature a break! There are some easy and money saving activities you can do to make your holiday season just as cheery without increasing your waste and negative impact on the environment.
1. Buy an Artificial Christmas Tree!
While it isn't the real thing, there are some fake trees that look just like the real thing. Buying a fake tree, though may seem initially costly can save you a bundle of money over the years. A cut Christmas tree can cost anywhere from $30 - $80 and up; a 7' pre-lit artificial tree can cost $80 and up, but can be reused year to year. This helps keep your holidays environmentally friendly and cleaner. You will have no needles to clean up and you leave more trees standing!
2. Use LED Christmas Lights
LED lights help reduce your energy use when decorating your house in glamorous colors. Reducing your energy consumption will lower your electric bill and your carbon footprint!
