December 2009 The Paige Turner: Thankful For You
Paige Wolf Media & Public Relations Newsletter
As we approach the traditional day for giving thanks, I know I have so much to be grateful for this year. In particular, I want to take this time to say how truly thankful I am for the readers of this newsletter.

Every time I meet someone who tells me they read my newsletter I get so excited. It's especially validating when someone says that they have used one of my coupons or purchased a good or service due to my recommendation. And most of all, I am thrilled by the readers who tell me about the green changes they have made in their lives.

I am thankful to be able to share good news and tips to help our communities and our planet. And, as always, I welcome your green tips and charitable events for consideration for "Shout Outs."

Green (and Money Saving) Holiday Gifting Tips

  • Save those gift bags, bows, and ribbons. Why spend money on gift wrap and gift bags when you can reuse perfectly good ones you receive?
  • Use those leftover bows and ribbons to adorn gifts wrapped with household items like calendars, maps, and even newspaper
  • If you get shipped those dreaded styrofoam peanuts, bring them back to the UPS store who will accept them for reuse.
  • And of course, buy sustainable, local, used, or handmade whenever possible.
