Yay, a contest!

Well, we are carpooling from Chicago to Detroit with Joe, so 5 people in 1 car instead of 2 cars. I will also be bringing along my big reusable shopping bags and totes when I do my gift shopping (easier on my hands than the store bags, so a win-win.)

And as always, shopping local and supporting independent businesses. So supporting my local economy but also staying a few blocks or a mile from home instead of driving 9 miles to the Big Mall.

We are going to be green this holiday by purchasing gifts that have minimal packaging and using/reusing gift bags instead of using wrapping paper. I am putting tree and yard lights on a timer, so they will only be on for a few hours a day; that way I won't forget and leave the lights on all night.

We also are buying natural poultry and pork raised a few miles down the road by a sustainable farmer.

We'll be going green at Thanksgiving by eating vegetarian. One of our soy products is even local! Like Jen, I also hope to be spending a lot of my holiday shopping dollars by shopping local. First choice will be places that I can walk to.

This holiday season we'll be green by using only items we have in the house to wrap gifts. We're also planning to do some charitable donations rather than purchase and wrap gifts that people don't necessarily need or even want. And we plan to finally purchase a compost bin in the next week or so, which has been on our list forever and is very long overdue.

We're going green by planning holiday meals that center on locally grown, organic-when-possible meals. We are also reusing gift wrap we've saved through the year, and letting the kids decorate it as they wrap.

My own green gift will be a gift certificate to the local nursery, so instead of disposible stuff I'll buy herbs and vegegtables for the garden this spring.

We'll be having a delicious vegetarian Thanksgiving, bringing our own bags to the store, shopping at our local food co-op, not buying wrapping paper, and recycling!
