Lloyd EcoDistrict wants to wish you a happy, stress free holiday season! While your “to-do list” might seem daunting, there are easy steps to make your holidays simpler, cost-effective, and less wasteful. Check out some of our favorite sustainable holiday tips!

• Consider alternative ways of giving, like making a donation to a local organization (check out this year’s
  Willamette Week Give!Guide) or making a meal for a loved one. You can also find creative ways to decorate!
