The Low Carbon 12 Days of Christmas This Christmas Let’s Keep Coal Out of Our Stockings!
By St Mary Administrator @ 8:07 AM :: 150 Views ::  :: Social Justice
|
|
1. Send Electronic Christmas Cards: Sending your Christmas greetings electronically is good for Creation because it saves trees. If you want to send a personal Christmas greeting to close friends and family, use recycled paper to make your own Christmas Cards.
2. Make Your Own Decorations: This can become a wonderful family tradition. Use recycled materials or natural materials like pinecones, leaves, vines. Making your own Christmas wreath out of materials you collected is carbon neutral and positively fun!
