Elena Irwin Amidst the presents, holiday parties, and good cheer this holiday season, don't forget to give a gift to the Earth. Giving gifts that will go unused only creates more waste. From the earth's perspective, giving less instead of more is the best gift. Quantity does not determine value.
Small gifts can have big meaning.
Make sure it's also a toy with which your kids will really play. Buy a cut tree and recycle it afterwards. Buy a living tree and then replant it in your yard. Be sure to buy a native species and keep the rootball damp while the tree is indoors. Decorate your tree with strings of popcorn and cranberries.
