Christmas shouldn't cost the earth, but the statistics speak for themselves. Every year over 150 million Christmas cards are sent in Australia - one tree makes 3000 cards - that's 50 000 trees cut down just for Christmas; over 60 000 tonnes of plastic packaging is thrown out; approximately 4 million Christmas trees are thrown out and over 300 000 million glass bottles and jars are used. This year, Anna Getty-environmental advocate, writer, television personality, chef, mother and organic living expert-helps families reduce their carbon footprint and save money without sacrificing style or tradition. Anna advises how to best choose a tree (real or fake?), mitigate the negative effects of necessary travel, recycle post-holiday and more. She shares favorite holiday recipes for organic appetizers and homemade craft ideas such as pinecone wreaths and recycled jumper pillows. With inspiring photographs, extensive resources and advice from the "Lazy Environmentalist" Josh Dorfman, Seventh Generation's Jeffrey Hollender and other leading eco-experts, families might just find that these tips help them stay green all year long-the perfect New Year's resolution!
