We all want to save a little money while still being festive while we prepare for the holiday season, but how does “green” or “organic” living fit into either of those categories? Sometimes it’s hard in the throes of winter, to remember that greenery, though covered in snow, still survives. I like to pay a little homage to the shivering, icicle plants by dusting them with a little cheer, usually some strands or nets of lights to brighten up the night. It also has some value: the lights are small enough not to add to the light pollution of a city or suburban area, but also help to light the paths in front of your house when it gets dark early during the winter months. You’re doing a service to your neighbors and to your family by lighting their path, and hopefully it dissuades you from leaving all the lights on in your house, if you have a little ambient lighting coming in from the window!

These are all great ideas! Thanks for showing how you can go green and have a garden party AND not go broke. As someone who works in the lighting industry, I’m always trying to persuade customers to look into LED lights for their outdoor decor and this was an excellent post about doing just that. Good to know I’m not alone on the “going green” front!
This is very informative! I love reading weblogs such as this. =)
