Wow, it's time to update these!!!  I'll try to work on them this coming week; thanks to everyone who contributed!   Great idea Sheena - just to get us started... 1.  Buy LED lights for your decorations!  I live completely in the boonies, with hardly any access to anything green and yet, last year the local drugstore actually had these and I'd been trying to get them for years!  Buy/replace a strand every year...and you'll save electricity too!  And if you want to be extreme...don't go fluorescent with your other lights - go LED!  They result in far fewer pollutants/toxins. Cozi - what do we do with the old ones?!  SEE POST ON PAGE 2 Ho Ho Ho!!!  (These aren't in any particular order...) 2.  Organic AND Fair Trade!!!  Kids can really get behind this one...and it's handy for Mom's & Dad's...first you educate them on what Fair Trade is...check out this site:  http://transfairusa.org/content/about/overview.php  and for products & fundraisers: http://www.equalexchange.coop/product-info - I'm not affliated, but I love more...
