I originally had another article in mind for this week because I thought that I had already missed the mark as far as how relevant this article would be. Most of you already have your decorations up, have purchased gifts and maybe wrapped them, and possibly are already at your holiday destination.
But I figured that if one procrastinator (I’m right there with you) reads this and implements some of the forthcoming tips, it would have made a difference. So here goes!
The holiday season (being generic is your friend!) is known for family, cheer, goodwill, and eggnog. You get to see people you haven’t seen all year and share an enormous meal with them (and more eggnog). In addition to all the familial warmth, the holidays are also the most wasteful time of year in America. It’s a season of great excess that knows no bounds. So instead of picking a month to really hammer the earth, let’s try to make this year’s Christmas a green one. I think even Santa drives a hybrid now! All I know is someone owes me a new roof.
Here are five tips to reduce your footprint in some of the biggest areas of waste during the holidays.

Decluttering and living with less is a big part of being a minimalist. But sometimes I think too much importance is placed on this aspect, while others are heavily neglected.
