Holiday Green
Tips
1) Buy a living tree for the holiday and after the holiday either plant it or give it to your
community parks department to plant - this is an excellent way to compensate for your use of
internal combustion transportation.
2) Buy or use recycled wrapping paper - better yet use the sunday funnies or purchase cloth
scraps at your local fabric store (remind people receiving the gift that the gift wrap is
reusable).
3) For large gifts simply tie a bow on it! Some folks hide the large gifts and give a card that
includes hints about where to find it. More fun!
4) Send digital Season's Greeting Cards.
5) Give your time! Give a grandparent, parent, spouse, friend a card with a commitment to help
with household chores for a day.
6) Organic Vegan Dinner! Give a gift of a locally grown organic vegan dinner either at your
favorite local haunt or you prepare it. The lower we eat on the food chain the healthier the
environment.
7) Adopt a needy family. This is a good way to begin to build community as well as helping out
those in need. If you do not know where to start on this one - contact your local Salvation Army.
8) Find eco-organizations like http://www.plant-trees.org/main.htm and give a gift of a healthier
planet. Also, check out Co-Op America and support Green Businesses at
http://www.coopamerica.org/pubs/greenpages.
9) Find socially responsible organizations like http://www.heifer.org and give a gift that
lifts people out of despair and poverty.
10) Support the Green party by giving Green gifts from the storefront at:

A Living Wage is a Fair Wage!
The Green Party stands for fair wages for all - wages that enable employees to support both
themselves and their families/households. An Action Alert was emailed out last week on this
issue. You are encouraged to help bring this needed change to American workers. We have made it
easy for you to express yourself on this issue.
