Green Living Tips: The Holiday Season Posted: Dec 2011 Posted by: Mats Inc.

Deck the halls this holiday season with a few green living tips in mind.

• Make your own gift wrapping. Give your brown paper bags or newspapers a second life. Use fun holiday stamps or cookie cutters dipped in paint to create free, recyclable wrapping paper.
• Decorate using Nature. Use evergreens, pinecones and berries from around the yard to create one-of-a-kind holiday decorations.
• Use energy saving lights. Switch to LED lights and energy-saving light bulbs for indoor and outdoor lighting. You will use 25%-80% less energy, saving the environment and your wallet.
