Greenpeace has a page devoted to making your holiday season more green. You might want to check it out. Here's a sample:
1: Give a compact fluorescent light bulb or two as gifts. Save your friends and family money and save the planet too. Old-fashioned light bulbs waste 85% of their energy in heat and don't last long. Compact florescent bulbs these days come in all shapes, sizes, and colours. A 100% compact florescent household makes a great New Year's resolution, and a good investment in energy (and money!) savings.
There are eleven more suggestions.
And, on the subject of New Year's commitments, you might like to take a look at the page called 12 Steps which is about using less energy.
Ooooo that's a good resolution to start 2007 with. I'm going for the whole "less work, more play" angle. You should enter yours over here: http://newyearresolutionblog.blogspot.com/2006/12/win-night-at-movies.html Who couldn't use a free night out?
