The holidays are just around the corner and our holiday activities can also be a burden on our environment if not done right.
If you are thinking to choose between real or fake christmas tree. Then depending on the place that you live in, I recommend purchasing a real tree. Not only will they fill your house with that fresh evergreen scent, they are eco-friendly. Lighting up the holidays, LED lights last up to 10 times longer, use 80 per cent less energy than incandescent holiday lights, and cuts costs on your electricity bill. If battery-powered lights are unavoidable, buy rechargeable batteries and reuse them or recycle batteries Decorations are so important and cannot be missed but avoid plastic decorations and make your own and choose it to be a family-activity and cut out snowflakes from scrap paper to decorate your walls. If you are not the crafty-type, opt for eco-friendly options made from paper, wood, glass, and recycled fabrics. Try a zero-waste party using real dishware rather than the disposable kind. You will save a lot of water and landfill space by avoiding plastic plates and cutlery. Plan a farmer s market visit and choose local foods to create a sustainable, delicious, and healthy meal. Coming to Gifts, Always remember that less is more. Choose gifts made from sustainable materials, shop locally, or make your own gifts When wrapping your gift, get creative and choose a reusable alternative like newspapers, old magazines, fabric, or cloth gift bags.

I agree with you on using more eco-friendly materials on the decorations, gift, and the wrapping. Hopefully we can minimize the waste by doing so. Hope you have a great holiday :)
