Five Green, Wintertime Activities for the Entire Family

Seasonal Ideas For a Green Lifestyle

Looking for some activities to do this winter season without spending too much time outdoors in the frigid cold?  This season, try out some GreenLiving activity ideas that the entire family can enjoy.  Some seasonal tips for a fun winter include:

1) Create a craft project: Utilize household resources such as paper towel rolls, newspapers, cardboard boxes, and more to create craft projects for the entire family.  In November, Grady's GreenLiving Tips shared a post on how to create a recycled blanket- learn more about that craft here.

2) Get an early start on "spring" cleaning:  Want to dedicate some time to household cleaning and organizing?  Get ahead on spring cleaning by following a green guide.  Remember: vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice are powerful, green cleaners!

3) Find creative ways to recycle: Recycling isn't just about sorting waste from soda bottles and soup cans.  Find creative ways to recycle resources such as clothes, eyeglasses, electronics, toys, and more.  Learn how in this post from April.

4) Support a cause or organization: This winter, help decrease the amount of food waste by donating food and/ or canned goods to a local food bank.  Put a collection box in your apartment community and/ or clubhouse and donate the resources to a local organization.  Learn more about supporting local food banks here.

5) Decorate or re-decorate: This winter- decorate the green way!  Re-read green decoration tips, such as displaying potted plants, in this blog post.
