It wouldn't be a truly environmentally friendly holiday around my house if I didn't check in first with Danny Seo, the best known "green lifestyle guru" in America.
He's amazingly creative when it comes to stylish green living, and his passion for eco-chic comes from a lifelong commitment to environmentalism that was probably inevitable given that he was born on Earth Day.
Seo's message is that sustainable style doesn't have to be expensive, and it doesn't have to be all about burlap. His website and his blog are fascinating troves of ideas, crafts, products, and building supplies that look good and are good for the environment.
At holiday time, Seo really gets into his groove. In fact, he's even written a book called "Simply Green Giving" that shows you how make your own great gifts inexpensively and wrap them in dramatic fashion.
This year his blog features a bunch of ways to decorate in resourceful ways, some suggestions for an "eco-holiday office party," a plan for giving your friends gift baskets stuffed with nothing but the best local products that truly represent your town, and your best bets for replacing your traditional holiday lights with longer-lasting energy-saving LED lights.
If you like Danny's stylish eye, get even more tips at his Better Homes and Gardens blog.
