How can you Green your Christmas?

• Reduce the number of trips you need to make or take public transportation
• Buy your fruits and vegetables from a local farmers market or from local sources.
• Buy organic when possible, except for product on the Clean 15 list
• Utilize reusable bags to hold groceries
• Don’t over cook or serve too much food
