Let's Have a Green Christmas

Christmas in the post-War United StatesImage via Wikipedia
It's barely a month before the merriest month of the year,  Christmas.  I love Christmas because it invokes mostly happy memories for me since I was a child. It is during Christmas that I get to see relatives whom I don't see for the most part of the year.  It also connotes gift-giving and a sumptuous feast shared by all.

In this time of global warming and climate change,  the best gift one can give Mother Earth is to buy gifts that are not harmful to the environment. What about giving away home-made goodies that come inside glass containers like sardines, jams, jellies, cookies? I sure would love receiving one.  For plant lovers, a pot of orchid or lettuce would be truly appreciated.  It's best that the gifts come without the glossy wrappers as these only end up in the garbage bins and into the landfills.

The list of possibilities is endless.  In choosing what to give, one must be aware of the impact of our choices to the environment.  Just remember the 3Rs, i.e., reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Have a Green Christmas everyone.
