Simplify the Holidays Kick off

Posted On: Nov 02, 09

The holiday season is upon us!  As we ponder how to manage our upcoming festivities and gift giving, Kokua Hawai’i Foundation is teaming up Kanu Hawai’i and asking to consider ‘simplifying the holidays’. Let’s use this time to refocus on the season’s deeper values of joy, peace, and ohana by making holiday choices that support and nurture our homes, our communities, our planet—and family budgets, too!

Nearly 900 KHF members and friends pledged to give back to their environment and communities during the 2008 holiday season.

This year the environment and the economy have taken center stage leading into the holiday season. Families are much more conscious consumers and are choosing green products, alternative gifts and eco-friendly traditions such as: celebrating with a locally grown or potted Christmas tree and picking up litter when caroling.

As the Thanksgiving and winter holidays approach, go to 12 Days to a Green Holiday and make a commitment to simplify your holiday season.
