Decoration 圣誕樹裝飾

貼士： 最簡單傳統(tǒng)的圣誕樹裝飾是用小果子和爆米花串起來的小掛件，非常環(huán)保，不會對環(huán)境有什么污染，像松球也是很天然的。

Go with the old school things like string cranberries and popcorn. It doesn't cost much money at all and it involves no plastics. Nothing's going to sit in the landfill. Both of these elements can actually go in your composed pile as soon as you are done stringing them on the tree. Use other national-found elements like pine cones to decorate your house. And you can use an old egg carton to store those valuable bulbs and different ornaments for your tree.

Lights 圣誕樹燈泡

貼士：使用傳統(tǒng)的白熾燈泡非常費電，建議大家使用新型的LED燈泡，雖然價格可能比白熾燈泡貴一點，但是卻相當(dāng)節(jié)電，而且也不會對環(huán)境產(chǎn)生污染。甚至是正在召開的哥本哈根氣候會議，主辦方也率先為會議場地都換上了LED燈泡。

Those standard old incandescent bulbs are way less efficient than the newer light bulbs, especially if you are using these great big Christmas bulbs and you're using those indoors and outdoors. There are new LED light bulbs that are actually 80-90% more efficient than the standard ones. Here's a box. This box I actually bought for about 10 dollars, so not much more expensive. But here's the deal. This string of lights is going to last a hundred thousand hours when used indoors--of course, the efficiency goes down just a little bit when they are used outdoors. Thirty days of using a string of five hundred regular bulbs are going to cost you about eighteen dollars in energy costs and it will cost only 19 cents if you are running the LED bulbs instead. So it's gonna save you a lot of money in the long run.

Wrapping 禮物的包裝

貼士：每年節(jié)日期間光是包裝袋和購物袋就會產(chǎn)生大量的廢物垃圾，所以我們不妨用一些舊衣服、舊布料自己制作一些包裝袋，既環(huán)保又有樂趣。

We generate about four billion tons of extra trush just from wrapping paper and shopping bags during the holiday season. So think outside the box this year. Use things like old T-shirts and sweeters and scarf to wrap the gifts.
