A How To: Eco-Friendly Christmas


Here at HNN, we're always trying to think of ways to jump on the "going green" bandwagon. Now that we're balls deep in the holiday season, we've been trying to think of ways to celebrate an eco-friendly Christmas. After many sleepless nights, it hit me like a ton of dreidels. This Christmas, go Jewish. Think of the possibilities: if every person that typically has a Christmas tree ornamented in their home gathered around a menorah instead, it would be a great step forward in the green movement. Bonus: you can be Jewish all year long, you don't have to do it just for Christmas! And if you want to go the extra environmentalist mile, be kosher, the most eco-friendly of Jews. Following the Sabbath would result in significant decreases of energy consumption. Additional bonus: some of our readers may be saying to themselves "I'd really like to be a green Jew, but it conflicts with my religion. How can I work with this?" We have you covered. Jews for Jesus is the hottest thing going on in religion these days. This religion allows people to accept Jesus as the savior, born of a virgin, while still upholding the eco-Jew lifestyle.

This Christmas, put the great outdoors first. Go Jewish.
