For cutting down on waste throughout the holidays

I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas: Gifts, Decorations, and Recipes That Use Less and Mean More
By Anna Getty, Photos by Ron Hamad
Chronicle Books, $38.95

Who’ll love this book: Greenies who like to live well

Why: There’s no reason why cutting waste and protecting our natural resources can’t be synonymous with preparing delicious meals, stylishly decorating for the holidays or exchanging great gifts! From evergreen garlands to Sweet Potato Christmas Enchiladas, recycled cashmere pillows to DIY wool wreaths, this book is chock-full of wonderful holiday inspiration, all of which religiously follow the three R’s.

Sample inspiration: Reduce harmful toxins in our environment by choosing a real, farmed tree, not a PVC fake. Reuse stylish gourmet and organic tea boxes by cutting their cardboard packaging into gift tags. Recycle old scarves, socks and sweaters into a wool wreath.
