Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Mondday, December 13th:

• Re-use idea alert! Still have last year’s holiday cards? Use them this year for colorful gift tags. Use serrated scissors to cut out interesting images and dress up your wrapping this year! Better yet, assign that fun to your child!

My husband and I went to the first of our planned holiday parties this past weekend, we had a lovely time…but it got me thinking about ways we can make our holiday festivities a bit more environmentally friendly, without sacrificing the fun factor. First…do a potluck! It’s human nature to be more relaxed and enjoy a party when you’ve contributed to the effort. Tell friends to bring a dish or some kind of goodie and encourage them to carry the casserole in a reusable dish. A pretty dish adds charm to your table, unlike an aluminum foil disposable pan. That’s an eyesore. Also, help your friends arrange a carpool to your party. Perhaps, if one of your buddies is a non-drinker, they might be willing to handle the job of Chauffeur, so that others can imbibe without adding to the danger of our roadways later on in the evening. Not only that, they’d all save on fuel and lessen their impact. And don’t forget to have non-alcoholic drinking options available. Something other than what comes in a can. Spiced eggnog or a holiday punch would be great choices. Green can be festive on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
