| Living Christmas Tree
|
|
By Susan Sanders-Kinzel
|
 A living Christmas tree is ecological, practical and saves you
money year after year. You can enjoy it year round on your
balcony or in your garden. Make sure the tree is small enough to
fit in your house and either buy it potted or find a planter to
fit it. If you pot it yourself, use a fast draining potting soil
or mix your own with river sand, garden soil, and compost in
equal parts. Leave about 6 inches of space above the soil. If
you can find a tray with casters all the better for moving it
around for years to come.

|
|
By NewDream.org

|
Holiday and birthday cards can be wonderful things. When combined with a few minutes to write a thoughtful note, they demonstrate our sentiment to loved ones and keep us in touch with distant friends. But, as with other aspects of our lifestyle, cards can have unintended environmental and financial consequences.

| Solar Lights
|
|
By Susan - The Editor
|
|
If you are considering buying pathway or ground lights, consider buying the solar lights instead. They use no electricity and there are no cords to get in your way. They can be placed anywhere in your yard because they don't need a power source. They recharge everyday, even on cloudy days and light up at night. They cost more initially but will save money and the environment in the long run. Also, you can take them with you on camping trips.

| Switch to Cloth Rags and Napkins
|
|
Using cloth towels (instead of paper towels) and napkins reduces the amount of paper that goes into the garbage and saves you money. If you buy dark colored cloth they will handle stains better and look good longer.
