It's almost time for Christmas and that means [cue scary music]...
Holiday house guests.
AHHHHH.
True, an alcohol IV would definitely help take the edge off, but there have got to be better ways to deal with company during the holidays, doesn't there?
Sure there are!
But what if your guests aren't green? Here are some great ways to circumvent that as well.
Christmas. It is the mortal enemy of trees around the world.
Why?
KearnyHub.com says that Americans throw away 38,000 miles of ribbon, buy 2.65 billion holiday cards, and chop down 33 million christmas trees during the holidays each year.
Guess where all those cards, the ribbon, the wrapping paper, and trees end up after the new year?
Yep, the dump. Merry Hanaquanzimas Planet Earth.
On top of that, you don't even get a chance to be eco-friendly during the holidays since traditional wrapping paper isn't even recyclable.
Yikes!
So what CAN you do to help green that christmas gift wrapping?

Everyone knows hanging around a vampire will likely end up in [literally] getting the life sucked out of you.
Why then do we let so many vampires hang around our homes without even a shred of garlic, a piece of silver, or the ever-handy UV light to vanquish them with?
Fear not my friends, for today is National Vampire Awareness Day, as deemed by big box store Best Buy.
Wait, Best Buy??
That's right, because we're not talking about REAL vampires (geez you're gullible), we're talking about electronics that draw vampire load, or sometimes called phantom load.
...and Best Buy wants you to know how to exorcise those phantoms and send the undead back to the ranks of the fully dead for good.
Halloween is just around the corner, but this year, GREEN is the new black.
Oh you don't have to dye your full length vampire cape forrest green, but there are some AMAZINGLY fun, simple, and tasty ways to have a great green-o-ween this year.
There's vegan halloween cupcakes, eco-safe candy, reusable halloween bags, and so much more.
It's an interesting fact that most of us who take steps towards living green by recycling, using products that are less harmful to the environment, and whatever else we can do to keep our world healthy, don't live this lifestyle while on vacation.
Why do many of us completely forget about the environment while on vacation?
We leave the lights on in our rooms when we're not there, we rent a car that guzzles gas, and spews toxins into the air, and many other things without even thinking about it.
Yet when we do these kinds of mindless things while on vacations it has just as much of an impact on the environment as it does if we were to do it while we were at home.
Scary thought isn't it?
However, the good news is that just as we can green our habits at home, we can also green them on vacation.
Ok guys, this one is mostly for us.
Raise your hand if you're the one who goes into the stall to avoid the row-o-urinals in public bathrooms.
Don't be shy...wait a tick, is that the reason you use the stall in the first place?
It's true, that shy bladder could be contributing to that carbon footprint in a big way.
No worries though mates, with all the interesting urinals out there, conserving water was never more fun.
