With the green revolution taking over pop culture by storm (it’s about time), we have seen many things as of late that are becoming eco-friendly. This is becoming so popular that even older generations are starting to get hip with it, which is something I never thought I would see.
One of the latest green items that I find fantastic is recycled and compost-friendly paper plates and eating utensils. These items were previously so wasteful that it is rad there is finally a way to avoid their potential harm to the earth.
In the spirit of the season, and the enlightenment of the ages, we have added many new green holiday cards to our site. These are wonderful way to spread holiday cheer to your loved ones, but to also be conscious of your environment.
I asked around here at IC to find out favorite Green Holiday Cards, and to see what others are doing around the Holidays to help conserve…this is what I found:
Ashley: Global Hearts
Bag Lady: I actually have just purchased and received cloth shopping bags made from Hemp. I use them for my grocery shopping, and shall use them for all of my holiday shopping as well! I found them at www.reusablebags.com ; they won “green business of the year” and donate 1% of every sale to the environment.
Dawn: Mosiac Ornament
Pattie McPlanner: I am making a New Year’s resolution to make the switch to more earth-friendly products
Zahara: Bright Holidays
Smart Shopper: Purchase certified organic foods and products.
Jessica: Chip the Snowman
The Fake Out: I will be getting a fake tree this year, so that I can reuse it for years to come, and also so that way I do not have to cut down a real tree.
Olivier: Be Ever Green
Man-Bag: Shopping at Publix with recycled bags
As for me, my favorite Green Holiday Card is Penguin Environment. This holiday season I am saving my fuel and staying home (instead of visiting family, unfortunately). I am also going to limit the amount of Christmas lights I use, and reuse wrapping paper as often as possible (even if it means opening presents with the excrutiating slowness of my mother). Happy Holidays!

I will be dieting, so eating less. So less food consumed = less food wasted. Although pumkpin pie is delicious!
