Christmas Greening Resource

Christmas can be a time of excess, waste and environmental damage.  But it doesn't have to be.  Download this 2009 Christmas resource (PDF, 450kB) including prayers and "Christmas challenges" for your family - for decorations, presents and food - to help you as you celebrate Christmas differently.  Thanks to Jessica Morthorpe for providing this resource.
