Hurrah, hurray it's Christmas!! But that doesn't excuse forgetting about the environment and our fragile, suffering earth.
Here at Tattoo we've developed ways for you to help conserve the planet while still being able to enjoy the festivities.



Save yourself a trip to the dollar store and paroose your local coffee houses for gift tag inspiration instead. Lots of events, local artists and gallery openings leave postcard sized event cards and business cards by front doors and by bulletin boards. Check for any out of date event listings and use the cards! But please, don't tear down the poster for Bobby's Christmas Garage Sale.
Glue a piece of scrap paper to the back of the cards so you can write out your message, hole punch a corner once the glue has dried et voila -

Our Leslieville beauties, gathered & made with care:




Creature Comforts has devised a way of turning your grocery bags into pompoms for gift toppers.

A recycling bag should be the only sack you're carrying this Christmas [unless you're Santa]. Keep it with you for all present wrapping & unwraps, Christmas crafts, and for tossing receipts not needed! Be conscious this Christmas and our world will thank you!


For more Green Saving ideas, hit up One Million Acts of Green here.
