It's Wednesday. It's debate day. Hey, let's give away a book!This little book with the long name, Green Christmas, How to Have a Joyous, Eco-Friendly Holiday Season, stuffs a ton of suggestions on how to have a green Christmas into a small package.
Frankly, if you have been keeping up on how to green your holidays and paying attention to all the green holiday tips in the media, not much in this book will come as new information to you. But, it's nice to have all of the information distilled down into one reference book.
If greening your Christmas is new to you, this makes for an excellent resource giving you the scoop on holiday parties, Christmas cards, gift wrap and ye old yule log. It would also make a nice gift to friends and relatives who might need, ahem, a little nudge towards less holiday waste.
From Amazon:
As green awareness spreads over middle America, more and more people want to have a fun, environmentally responsible holiday. This book shows how to enjoy the Christmas season while leaving a smaller carbon footprint.
Readers will learn how to do the following: choose between a real tree and an artificial one; find alternatives to holiday cards; avoid the holiday catalog crunch; find or make gifts that are green or teach green; have warm, cozy green fires; create eco-responsible lighting displays, and more! Readers can have a great holiday celebration—while caring for the planet and setting a great example for generations to come.
To enter to win this little gem by random drawing, add your name to the comments by Friday, October 17th, 6:00 pm PST. I'll announce the winner on Saturday.
Good luck!

Please add me in.
Ditto on wanting to be in! I've been trying to brainstorm DIY gift ideas. Granola? Jam? Decoupaged photos on wood? It'd be helpful to have more ideas :)
Books are good; sign me up!
Cool - looks like it has a lot of good ideas.

I'm a christmas junkie, I confess. It's probably really the one area of my life where I need a lot of work...I've already asked for no gifts that aren't homemade are used...but I LOVE everything about Christmas...including stores and their over commercialism (funny, because I'm nothing close to a shopper or consumerist the rest of the year...sad really, I know!)
Anyway, count me in!
Wow, I could use some new ideas beyond regifting, buying from local crafts people, and giving the odd donation. Any one have any ideas for activities to substitute for present opening for the preschool crowd?

I'd love to read it and then pass it on to my slow-to-green relatives. We're all trying to get better!
I love Christmas, pick me pick me! :)
It'll be interesting to see if a family with 3 very small children can produce a satisfyingly green Christmas. Sign me up!
I'm new to this going green, so I could use all the help I can get. It is the little things that will eventually all add up, I hope. Thanks Debbie
Sounds like a good one =) Thanks!
Count me in please! Sounds like a good book to enjoy, incorporate, and pass on - maybe it can itself be a "green" christmas gift.
Please count me in. Thanks!
count me in!
I can always use some new ideas.

I'd like to enter too please.
Anonymous for the preschool crowd how about asking the kids to bring a dog bone or cat toy and donate them to an animal shelter? Or maybe make homemade dog and cat treats for your holiday party and give them to the animals at the shelter? You know, get those kids thinking about doing charity work and giving early.
Count me in too, please. Sounds like a great resource!
Count me in Crunchy! Debbie C
We celebrate Hanukkah, but the glitz and glam is there for us too. I'd love to read this. I'm a fast reader, so I can send it along to another person too!
Im in too please... ;0) AND thank you!!

I'm in, I'm in, if it's not too far to post a book!

The book looks good. I would love to be in the draw.
Jen G from Canada....I've been reading for awhile. Since I'm in Canada, would you ship to me, if you did win?
Yes please! I'm in! :)
What a perfect book to pick up! Please count me in.
Just found your blog when you left a comment in April Showers.
This book sounds very interesting - so count me in. I want to find out what is best - artificial vs real tree. We live on a ranch and have access to live cedar trees but sometimes the cedar smell will drive you out of the house - so what's a person to do!
Woo! Two things I love in one neat little package: books & eco-friendly stuffs.
Count me in, please!

Wow, I never thought of a "green" christmas as I always thought of christmas with lots of lights, presents and paper wrappers! I'm absolutely keen.
Please add me to the draw!
Throwing my name in the hat.
How about children bringing in food for a food drive?
Count me in. I am planning an event in my town to share ideas with downtown business owners for making the holidays more sustainable.
Me, too!

Yes, please!
Please add me to the drawing. Thanks, Crunchy!
