Make every holiday a green one

Whether you include your pet in traditional family holidays or carve out time to celebrate your pet’s birthday (or adopt-a-versary), make every holiday eco-friendly by adopting a less-is-more attitude.

Here are some suggestions:

• Wrap gifts in newspaper or colorful circulars (then recycle them)
• Choose gifts that have a smaller impact on our nation’s landfills—consider giving consumables like food or treats.
• Handmade toys work too. A donation to your favorite pet-related charity is also the ideal (and green!) way to commemorate your pet’s cherished place as a family member during the holiday.
