12 Days of Christmas Conservation: Day 10 (Holiday Entertaining)

The holidays brings people together. Relatives will be flying in from out of town to spend Christmas time with family. You can reduce needless air pollution by staying at home and decorating the tree and spending quality time with your family. If you're having guests over, you can set the mood by lighting soy candles or lanterns made out of sustainable materials. When you have a lot of people over, be sure to turn down your thermostat. The lowered temperature in combination with the warm bodies and heat from the oven will regulate the temperature in the house. As for party favors, think green and organic. Everyone can use an extra energy efficient light bulb, soy candles, or organic socks.
