"But it's too cold and the snow is too deep to take the organic garbage to the composter/ride my bike to work/etc." "But I can't get my extended family to exchange hand-made gifts. . . " Buts aside, I'm proud of the efforts we've made. Our weekly recycling now outweighs the trash pickup. We've got our thermostat down to 60 with radiant heat in the couple of closed rooms where we tend to congregate (family room and bedrooms). The utility bills have rewarded us by being nice and low. And I did put 1500 miles on my bike this year commuting to work. My new passion for yoga (class schedules) and the encroaching cold weather and ice have put a cramp in my biking, but all in all, we are one of the greenest families around. Namaste, kensaxman My family is making some good steps toward a green Christmas, but are still fighting the “buts!”

We've been recycling wrapping and bows for years now, as well as decorating with finds from estate sales and second use stores and bringing the nature indoors. Another green book holiday resource for you: A local mother daughter team, Corey and Lynn, co-wrote "Celebrate Green" on not only being greener in your holidays but bringing meaning to the table and the holidays, Christmas and beyond. It was just launched this October! http://www.celebrategreen.net Great book, great gals! Nice to find you via Facebook blog networks.
