Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Tuesday, December 21st:

• Want a great last minute gift? How about a membership to the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op? It enables them to a discount not only at the Co-op, but also at several other venues around town. A membership at the co-op encourages the thought of buying local!

So, with three and a half shopping days left, how are you doing with getting ready for the impending holiday? If it makes you feel better, I’m no where near done. AND I’m not sure when I’m going to make that miracle happen. Too bad I can’t just do a donation to my fourteen year old’s favorite charity. Teenagers don’t appreciate that kind of thing! One thing is for sure, after the big day comes and goes, all that giving will give way to one heck of a lot of waste. Wrapping paper, holiday cards, left overs, packaging, the tree…oh, I think I’ll stop there. What to do with it all? Tempting though it may be to shove it all into a garbage bag to put out to the curb, please, go through it carefully, because so much of it can be recycled. A good source of advice on what to do with all that left over holiday “fru-fru”, check out this website: addisoncountyrecycles.org. It offers an incredibly comprehensive list of everything on your Christmas garbage list. For example, the tree: you can arrange to have your tree picked up curbside, and on this website, they provide the number to call! I’ll post it up on my blog at 921wvtk.com if you’d like to click for the link at addisoncountyrecycles.org. Happy Holiday recycling on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
