EcoMash for the week of 12/15/08

Global warming is turning everybody’s white Christmas to green. For instance, the Rockefeller tree lights are not only LED this year, but also solar-powered. Over in Scotland, where Santa presumably wears a kilt, he’s gone green as well. And there is plenty of green gift wrap for all your eco-friendly gifts this year, although the hard-core will still get creative with old newspaper. Perhaps most important for those who’ve been gifted a fruitcake is environmentally safe recycling methods for this perennial favorite.
