Dear Friends,
As we embrace the holiday season, I am reminded of the strength of our diverse community, united by shared values of kindness, gratitude, and togetherness. Whether you celebrate Winter Solstice, Yalda, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or another tradition—or simply take this time to reflect—I extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones.
This season, let’s celebrate with care for both each other and our planet. Small changes can make a big difference, such as:
Sending e-cards instead of paper cards to reduce waste.
Gifting experiences like tickets to a local event, a theatre membership, or a donation to a meaningful charity.
Choosing sustainable items like a small herb garden kit, reuseable water bottle, or locally made eco-friendly products.
Using energy-efficient LED lights for decorations.
Supporting local shops and markets to reduce carbon footprints and strengthen our community.
Preparing eco-friendly meals with plant-based ingredients*
* For some tips on creating a mindful, waste-free holiday dinner, visit Cook’n’Chic, the Food Revolution Network or Delicious Living.
May your celebrations be filled with peace, joy, and the warmth of family and friends. Let’s carry this spirit of care—for each other and our environment—into the new year.
Season’s Greetings and Happy Holidays!
P.S. If you’ve read this far then here is an e-card for you to enjoy:
Warm regards,
Scott
