BOSTON, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Every week between Thanksgiving and
Christmas, Americans produce an additional 2 billion pounds of garbage. Think
wrapping paper, holiday cards, and the gluttony of holiday catalogs received
each day. When it comes to gifts under the tree, if every child under the age
of 6 received a quality wooden toy in place of a plastic one, 17 million tons
of plastic land-fill would be avoided for every year the toy was used.
The stats are alarming but the solution is easy. GREEN CHRISTMAS: How to
Have a Joyous, Eco-Friendly Holiday Season by Jennifer Basye Sander and Peter
Sander with Anne Basye, and published by Adam's Media, is the first book to
teach readers how to have an eco-responsible holiday season. As green
awareness spreads over America, more and more consumers want to have an
environmentally responsible holiday. GREEN CHRISTMAS shows how to enjoy the
season while leaving a smaller carbon footprint. For instance, readers are
encouraged to:
-- Find alternatives to holiday cards
-- Avoid the holiday catalog crunch
-- Find or make gifts that are green or teach green
-- Have warm, cozy green fires
-- Create eco-responsible lighting displays
With this book as their guide, readers can have a holiday season to
remember -- while caring for the planet and setting a great example for
generations to come.
