My Weird Green Christmas: How to be Green and Save Money

<p>A few years ago I was challenged by an environmentalist to write a piece on how I live a more environmentally friendly Christmas.

At home, our Christmas decorations are 30 years old. They come out every year and will continue to do so. Where&rsquo;s the demand for all these new decorations come from?
