30 Green Holiday Ideas

From Pedal-Powered Pines to Plantable Gift Tags

— December 3, 2009 — Eco
The holidays are a time for joy and cheer—but also a time for excessive waste and consumption. Sorry, did I turn your smile upside down? Well, it's in your hands to turn it right back up by looking to eco-friendly ways to enjoy the holiday season. There are many green holiday ideas available, from temporary tree adoptions to green baby gift boxes. Click through this collection of green holiday ideas for inspiration!

Implications - Holiday goods that translate your devotion to loved ones are important; however, an eco-friendly present is just as likely, if not more to be commercially explosive. With all the unnecessary waste that the holiday season produces, companies and service providers would be wise to ensure the sustainability of their goods.
