Green Tips for the Holidays....




You wanna really add some green to your Christmas? Incorporate a few of these eco-friendly holiday activities...


  • Buy a pesticide free tree. Many tree farmers add colorants and use up to 40 different pesticides on their trees. I have look online for local farms to purchase from but with no luck...if anyone knows of any in the Wilmington area please post a comment and let us know!


  • Recycle your christmas tree. 10 million Christmas trees make it to a landfill.

  • Support our local economy and buy items for your holiday feast from local farms. We have plenty of them in our area!


  • Make your own wrapping paper. The sunday comics are always a favorite of mine! If you don't make your own, encourage friends and family members to reuse the bags and paper that the gifts are in.


Happy Holidays Noble Family! Enjoy the upcoming break it is well deserved and much needed.
