THE ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

By Andrea Schiller | December 17, 2018 | Environment | Nonprofit

Share



The holiday season is upon us. Many of us are looking forward to seeing our
loved ones as well as planning for big dinners and the perfect presents. Sadly,
the holiday season is one of the times when landfills receive an inordinate
amount of trash. Some statistics:

 * We produce 25% more trash in the U.S. than the rest of the world during the
   holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving
 * There are about 2.65 billion holiday cards sold each year in the US alone.
   These cards can fill a football field 10 stories high!
 * About 50 million Christmas trees are sold each year, and 30 million go to
   landfills, rather than being composted or turned into wood chips

The spirit of the holidays is in giving, joy, and gratitude. Fortunately, you
can still live this spirit – sustainably – with a few tweaks to your shopping
and giving.


HOLIDAY DINNER IDEAS: POTLUCKS, COMPOSTABLE UTENSILS, AND HEALTHY RECIPES

Especially if your city doesn’t compost food scraps, consider these 3 tips to
trim your food waste, as well as save money and food prep time:
1. If you are cooking for a small group, you probably don’t need a huge ham or a
whole turkey.
2. If you are having a potluck, remember that there will be more food on the
table than what you will be cooking!
3. For a large corporate event, consider working with a local nonprofit like
Food Runners to donate food from the same day of an event.

If you’re frying latkes for Hanukkah, remember not to pour oil down the drain,
which can clog pipes and cause sewer problems. Instead, add the oil to your
compost, or if you use olive oil, you can feed it to your dog!

Also, save any leftover menorah oil for next year – don’t throw it out.

Another waste area to watch for: disposable dinnerware, utensils, and plastic
glasses.

To eliminate this, consider using compostable dinnerware. These can easily be
found in grocery stores or online with World Centric, Eco Products, or Amazon.


BETTER GIFTS: LESS IS MORE, AND CASH IS KING

Before stressing yourself, your budget, and the environment, consider just
asking friends and family what they want!

If you think that might spoil holiday surprises, here are some more sustainable
holiday gift ideas:

Use wrappings you can recycle, like fabric or reusable paper bags. You can find
artsy gift-wrapping inspiration.

Consider Hanukkah candles that are plant-based, paraffin free, and thus cleaner
burning, like GoodLight or these.

Make donations to the charities that align with your loved ones’ interests. You
can find a list of different charities as well as themed “impact funds” in
Philanthropy Cloud, via United Way.



Take the time to write a letter to explain to your family member why you have
chosen to donate to the cause on his or her behalf. That can be one of the best
gifts someone gets!

Also, recurring donations to nonprofits are especially needed.

Give cash gifts. According to a survey from the Japan-based online retailer
Rakuten, 70% of people do not like the gifts they receive, which typically
results in more trash ending up in landfills. And, teenage faces light up when
they receive cash! Make Secret Santa a tradition. This format helps keep
unwanted gifts out of landfills, because each participant can give one other
person one gift. Choose gifts that create less trash while you use them. Avoid
buying toys that require batteries to operate; choose solar powered toys instead
such as a solar operated robot or solar powered car. Here are some sites that
offer great environmentally friendly gift ideas for any age: Earth Easy,
Toasting Good, and Uncommon Goods.


SUSTAINABLE CHRISTMAS TREE SUGGESTIONS

Thanks Dylan Hansen for sharing this photo of a future sustainability
enthusiast!

Christmas might not feel like Christmas without a tree. When comparing a fake
tree versus a real one, which is more environmentally friendly depends on if
your real tree is composted or wood chipped or not, and how long you might keep
an artificial tree. If you want to really go with a zero waste option, you can
use the plants at home, or use a potted tree that you can bring indoors for
decoration and leave outside during other parts of the year.

If you decide to go with a real tree this year, make sure you check Earth911.com
for how to recycle it in your area. Remember to remove decorations, tinsel, and
lights from your tree before taking it out to the curb.


Choose reusable, compostable, or edible decorations. That can be anything from a
wreath to a gingerbread man… or maybe add a popcorn and cranberry garland to
your tree this year! Or, how about adding a popcorn and cranberry garland to
your tree this year?

Rosemary is an example of a great reusable (and edible) Christmas tree.

Holidays are a time we make more memories with our family and friends. Let’s
fill our hearts with warmth and not fill landfills with trash. Being mindful of
how we buy or not buy this season will have an impact on our planet.

P.S. And while we’re talking about sustainable gifts…let’s not forget the
sustainability of your sanity for you (or your friends) who work in nonprofit
fundraising.

Coming soon – Batch Gift Entry, a new feature for Salesforce.org Nonprofit
Success Pack (part of Nonprofit Cloud) designed to more easily enter data into a
nonprofit’s Salesforce instance.



With this new feature, nonprofits will have access to a new interface for high
volume, mouse-free data entry. The tool will also include reusable templates.
Additionally, the feature will be able to process large batch files on one page,
while employing matching logic to prevent duplicate entries in an organization’s
instance. Batch Gift Entry is currently being piloted, with general availability
expected in early 2019 to organizations using Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud.

Happy gifting!
