Happy
Holidays from Horizon Organic! |
|
Dear
Friend,
The holidays are a good time to reflect on the idea of giving—not
just to others, but to our world as a whole. If all of us make an
effort to help the environment, that’s a gift that will endure for
generations. Here are a few ideas for an environmentally friendly
holiday:
- Recycle
your Christmas tree to use for wood chips and mulch
- Buy
toys (preferably wood, not plastic) that are durable, not disposable
- Give
tree saplings, flower bulbs and seeds as gifts
- Add
cooking remnants like vegetable peelings and other waste to a
compost pile
- Reuse
holiday gift bags and decorations
- Choose
organically grown food for your holiday meals
If you’re looking for organic recipe ideas, we’ve got lots that will
make your holidays bright. Try our Cranberry
Pie with Walnut Pastry or Frosted
Molasses Drops for a delectably organic dessert!

Conventional
cotton accounts for more total insecticide than any other crop
worldwide, much of it highly toxic. And cottonseed oil made
from that cotton is found in many food products. Choose brands
that use organic cottonseed oil instead and buy clothes made
with organic cotton, too—it’s better for the planet! |

A
punch bowl filled with creamy, cinnamon-and-nutmeg-flecked eggnog
makes a holiday party feel complete. Horizon Organic eggnog
is made with lowfat organic milk, so you can indulge in its
luscious, sweet flavor without guilt. This festive favorite
is only in stores during the holidays, so make sure to stock
up! |

Make
your own unique—and earth-friendly—gift wrapping. Gather
brown paper bags and cut them to make them flat. Wrap gifts in the
paper, then decorate them with markers or paint and add stickers,
cut-up pipe cleaners, ribbons or colored string. |
