Eco Friendly Baby Products

Thanksgiving may be over, but the holiday season is still in full swing and in the excitement of the holidays, it's easy to disregard the waste reduction habits we use throughout the year.  A fun holiday season doesn't have to be a wasteful one - reduce your waste by following these simple tips!

1.  Greeting Cards
Send holiday greetings to family and friends via e-mail. If you prefer to send hand-written notes, make your own cards with paper you already have, or look for holiday cards printed on recycled paper

2.  Wrapping Paper
Most mass-produced wrapping paper is NOT recyclable and ends up in a landfill.  Instead, wrap presents in eco-friendly items such as comics from the newspaper, brown grocery bags, or old maps

3.  Gifts
Give gifts from the heart instead of from the store! These can mean more than consumer products. Offer to help with chores, or give of your time to babysit or make a nice dinner for a family member or friend

4.  LED Lights
Buy "LED" holiday lights and use them for decorating your house and/or Christmas tree this holiday season. LED lights use 90 percent less energy than conventional holiday lights, and can save your family up to $50 on your energy bills during the holiday season!
