That time of the year is here where you just want to relax and celebrate. Greenubuntu wishes all its readers a very Happy New Year 2019. We also want to make resolutions and see them to the end of the year. However, these times can tend to get wasteful. The average person sends and receives scores of cards each year. That is several billion cards every year! Keeping the precarious health of our environment, it can be a good idea to take a few steps towards sustainability. Here are a few for your Happy New Year 2019:
• Let us Celebrate Together: You can conserve resources as well as get connected with others through celebrating your New Year 2019 at your home or at the homes of friends or families. You could also invite them to your own home together with spending some quality time with them, which is the best New Year’s gift that anyone can want.
• You could Make Your Own Cards: Use cards which you received the previous year. Get a child’s artwork or use your own skills to create new cards. You could utilize recycled paper for your holiday letters. Try sending a family photo with your greetings hand written on the backside of the card to make it a really Happy New Year 2019.
• Car pool Or Use Public Transit: In fact, both for shopping trip as well as on the first day of the New Year 2019, use carpool to cut fuel consumption as well as traffic. Organize some bus routes for urban commuters who travel to their homes for the holidays.
• Shop Online: Try finding some small business that could use your money. Let it be a Happy New Year 2019 for them too. Shop as near to home as possible.
• Recycle as much as possible: Non glossy wrapping papers could be shredded for compost or they could also be added to recycle bins. Make sure that the bows, ribbons and other such celebratory articles can be used for multiple ends. Use tissue paper, gift bags, as well as boxes. Plus, beverage or food packaging should be cleaned as well as recycled.
