Help keep this holiday season merry and bright by making environmentally friendly choices to help fight climate change and keep Ontario's air, land, and water clean.
-
Choose energy-efficient holiday lights and put them on timers to save on electricity bills.
-
Reduce waste by sending holiday greeting cards electronically, or pick cards printed on recycled paper.
-
Choose a real, Ontario-grown Christmas tree from a local tree farm or retailer.
-
Make your holiday travel as green and safe as possible. Carpool or take public transit to holiday parties. If you have to fly over the holidays, consider purchasing carbon offsets.
-
Make your festive dinners environmentally friendly while supporting local businesses. Choose from Ontario's wide range of local foods available in December.
-
Shop local or buy gifts made from Ontario wood or recycled non-toxic plastic.
-
Keep batteries out of landfills by giving gifts that don't need batteries. If you need batteries, make them rechargeable.
-
Get creative with your wrapping. Reuse paper from household items like calendars, newspapers and fabric or decorate brown craft paper that can go in the Blue Box. Reuse your wrapping paper for other holiday decorating.
-
Buy gifts with less packaging, and recycle when you can.
-
Bring your own reusable shopping bags to stores.
