		<description><![CDATA[Halloween is just the beginning of the holiday season. Stores have long since put out Christmas decorations for sale and many children are already thinking about what they&#8217;d like for Christmas. Is there any way to avoid excessive gifts and so forth throughout the holiday season? Remember Why You Celebrate No matter the holiday you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may be contrary to what children themselves will tell you, but if you want happier kids, don&#8217;t buy them so much stuff. Things do not equal happiness, for any of us. By buying too many things for your kids, you&#8217;re encouraging them to want more and more, rather than enjoying the good things they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve long been amazed by how often many people feel they &#8220;need&#8221; new things when what they have works perfectly fine. New dishes because they&#8217;ve been using the old ones for a few years. A new cell phone because the new model came out. Not only does buying new things when you don&#8217;t need them [...]]]></description>

You can buy cheap, environmentally friendly good and you can buy designer eco friendly products. It&#8217;s quite a change from just a few years ago. But is it a good change?

There are so many temptations to shop, shop, shop&#8230; and so many of the temptations are such poor choices for the environment. These are some of my thoughts on how to green things up just a little. Avoid Black Friday Crowds [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s not to say there aren&#8217;t good things to buy for Earth Day. If there&#8217;s a truly green change you&#8217;re wanting to make it&#8217;s a good time to [...]]]></description>

Organic food, compact fluorescent bulbs, cloth diapers&#8230; it can be hard to see why you would bother paying extra. All these steps seem like such small things. However, each of these has the potential to save you some significant money. The hardest to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s right, I loathe Black Friday. It strikes me as just another example of excess consumerism, and a chance for people to start overspending early. That and I spent too many years in retail during college to have any appreciation for large shopping crowds. My husband on the other hand intends to head out. I [...]]]></description>
