Fresh green links
Friday, December 5th, 2008
I’m going with a bit of a Christmas-y theme today, for a bit of fun:
Choice magazine has a great article on 10 tips for a sustainable Christmas. It’s got some useful links to resources that’d make it easier for you to make the greener choices this month.
Wondering what to do with those damn plastic bags you were unable to avoid? I take my reusable bag everywhere and *still* end up with half a dozen every month! But the Creature Comforts website has a great idea - turn them into pom-poms to decorate your Christmas gifts with! Looks cute and easy to do. DIY Eco-happy pom-pom gift topper.
And for another gift-wrapping idea that you can make eco-friendly by your choice of materials, try Fun with Fonts by Lupin at Bugs and Fishes. If you’re using plain recycled paper to wrap presents this year, this idea will help you decorate and personalise them using smaller amounts of colourful paper.
