If you are, once again, feeling pressured to spend yourself into financial oblivion this holiday season, you are not alone, and while the economy appears to be recovering for some, for many, this holiday season will bear a striking resemblance to last years, with many still out of work and with limited funds.
Here are a few ideas for spreading holiday cheer while living green.
Many people are fed up with the commercialization and the suspicion that they’re being stalked by the gods of consumerism whose goal it is to separate you from your purse as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Here are some gift-giving and celebration ideas to help you live green and save.
