Eco Purim

With the holiday of Purim drawing near it’s a great opportunity to rethink bad holiday habits. Here’s a few things to mull over:

Think reusable with the Mishloach Manot. Baskets look nice, but they usually go straight to the garbage.
Save those bottles, some places even give you money for them… (usually supermarkets)
Do you need to buy a costume? Be creative, see what you can find around the house.
Think eco when filling those baskets!

I try to spend more on matanot l’evyonim than mishloach manot; I’m lucky in that my friends are not so much in need of the calories. I also avoid sending anything with added sugar; there’s so much junk in the average mishloach manot that lots of people start the day with a sugar high. (This year I’ll be sending home-made rolls, grape juice, plus some fruit/veggies, perhaps with a dip.)
