The Holidays and the Environment
The holidays are not the best of times for our environment. Think of all the packaging and waste. This year separate your wrapping paper and cartons from your presents and make sure it’s recycled. Recycle your Christmas cards into gift tags for next year. Make sure you recycle that Christmas tree also. Better yet, now’s the time to think of a tree alternative for next year. Go artificial, now is the time to buy… retailers offering after Christmas discounts of 50% to 75%. Or start considering where you’d like to plant next years live tree with a root ball.
I’m sure with all you’ve received, it’s time to clean out the closets. Don’t forget to donate your
clothes and general household items to the Salvation Army. Remember, what’s old to your children is new to a less privileged child. There are lots of homes old toys can go to, from local hospitals to charity shops and hospices. And who didn’t get a new phone this year, with technology changing so quickly we all want the newest and coolest version out there. Cell phones for soldiers has the answer, send your old one to our soldiers.
