Let’s celebrate an eco-friendly Christmas with these smart hacks.
Never waste food. If in excess, donate.
Lights
Replace your traditional lights with LED lights. Use a timer to regulate the amount of time the lights are on. LED lights have a longer lifespan and consume 70% less energy than conventional incandescent light strands.
Donate

One of the best ways to be environmentally friendly is to buy and use less. Donate to a cause you believe in, rather than buying something you’ll never use.
Gifts
Not all gifts have to be store-bought. You can give more while spending less by giving gifts that are personal, handmade and unique.
Decoration
Try to reuse decorations from previous years. This will save a lot of money.
Wrapping
Pack your gifts in reusable gift boxes or at least try and use recycled paper.
