  1. Bake Your Way Through The Holiday Gift List - Homemade treats = Genius.  Do it.
  2. Skip the Paper Christmas Cards This Year - Email Only.  Save a Tree.
  3. Donate To All Your Favorite Eco-Organizations - There is ALWAYS someone that needs more help than we do.  Help them.  Help the earth.
  4. Cut The Consumption in YOUR Family - Less gifts all around.  Give less, BE more.
