Great Green Gifts

Christmas is on the way yet again, and the last thing many of us want to think about in this time of abundance is conservation.  But this holiday season, I want to get you dreaming of a green Christmas instead of a white one.  Okay, you can have both, but let’s face it, eco-friendly everything is the way of the future. 

Because a better lifestyle doesn’t sleep at night; it simply IS…

 And one of the biggest setbacks on our journey to a less-polluting, more earth-friendly lifestyle worldwide is the holiday season.  A time where tradition has taught us to throw out the old and replace it with the new—to give material goods even if they are neither needed or wanted. 

To add to this glaring issues, reams after reams after reams of wrapping paper, as well as ribbons, tape, boxes, and cards are used for half a morning and then tossed out, contributing  to a pollution problem that is already out of control.  

I don’t want to lay a guilt trip on you. …

Sorry to be so melodramatic, but I wanted to catch your attention.  I know Thanksgiving is food and football.  It happens to be one of my most favorite holidays. I absolutely love sweet potatoes, turkey, cranberry sauce, and all the trimmings. So whats the problem?  When I ask for Aunt Millie to pass the sweet potatoes,  she might as well pass me some pesticide on the side. According to the Pesticide Action Network website, “What’s on my Food,”

“Sweet potatoes, a traditional holiday favorite, tested positive for 14 different pesticide residues-6 of them neurotoxins.”

Okay, so I won’t eat the sweet potatoes…so  pass the cranberry sauce…couldn’t live without this mouth watering topping.  Why are the PAN people shaking their head no? …. And flashing a big card that reads,

“6 suspected hormone disruptors were found on cranberries.  These chemicals were linked to cancer, obesity & developmental disorders.”

Well, that’s it. I just lost my appetite….
