Tips for Greener Holidays

For the past several years, we've publicized simple and cost-saving ways to reduce waste during the year-end holidays. We've had displays at the Post Office and Public Library as shGreener Holidays PO Displayown in the photos, written letters to the editor, and collaborated with the Lee Lions Club to collect holiday greens and bring them to the goats at the Monte Vista Farm on East Street (the goats LOVE the greens - per the photo). We've got tips and links to print here or read online here, here's an article published last December by the Berkshire Goats enjoying holiday greensEdge, and here are suggestions from Earth911 for eco-responsible gifts. Library display - greener holidays
