How to Go Green in Celebrating Christmas
People spend way too much money in the festive season and this overspending is one of the many reasons of the growing fears of the environment in recent times. There have been huge campaigns in the last few years on going for a Green Christmas every year to help the environment. There are many ways in which we can help the cause. Some of the things you can do is to buy live Christmas trees for decoration, minimum outdoor decorations, recycling goods, eating natural foods and buying gifts carefully. Also, spread the word to your friends and family so that they can also help the cause.

Buy a live Christmas tree
First of all, buy a live Christmas tree for the festive period so that you can plant it in the backyard on in the garden after the holidays. They may be a bit expensive but you can always use them afterwards. When you cut down a tree, make sure you take the responsibility to plant it again after you use it during the festive period -

Minimum outdoor decorations
Make sure there are minimum outdoor decorations when you prepare for the Christmas season. There should be minimum lights in the outdoor area so that the energy usage is less. -

Recycle
Always use recyclable or recycled material in your decorations. Use newspapers or cards from last season to decorate the areas of your house. Make sure that the use of paper is minimal as you should be encouraging people to save trees. -
