Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Monday, December 6th:

• Thinking of dropping the holiday cards in the recycling bin after they’re read, re-read and enjoyed. Make sure they have nothing attached that’s not recyclable. For instance, if the card speaks or sings to you, it’s not recyclable.

Eighteen shopping days left to get it all done. My husband and I were out and about yesterday, trying to at least, make a dent. We did, but just barely! Since gas prices are rising once again, many are opting to simply shop online this year, to avoid the long trip to the mall. That’s okay, if you’ve got the room on your credit card, but watch out, they get you on shipping. I’m really trying to keep it local as much as possible, our local merchants could really use the business. These days, consumers aren’t the only ones who are suffering. The businesses that flock our main streets take a hit when we take what few dollars we have elsewhere. Some might tell them to lower their prices to bring the consumer back in, but that’s not as easily done as said. The bigger the store, the bigger the deals, but service and quality is what you have to be willing to sacrifice. I’m not so sure the trade off is worth it.
