Make Your Christmas a Little Greener ~ Yankee ReGifting Swap

[Nancy Gallant]

Hi Britt and Changebloggers All ~

I'm afraid my brain is still recovering from the Echoing Green Fellowship application! So, I'm not certain if this is the spot to post this ~ perhaps it qualifies for SuperChangeBlogger powers... Anyway, I just blogged about a Yankee Swap idea that I thought I should share as it would save folks lots of money and the environment lots of wasted energy...

The following was in my e-newsletter, linking to my "personal weblog" where I blog about the pre-launch phase of my social enterprise:


Here' a fun, good for the environment, easy on the pocketbook holiday tip (win, win, win ~ HoHoHo!)...

Instead of a gag grab or some other theme-based grab that leads to more expense and more buying of new products that we don't need, just have a Yankee ReGifting Swap. The only rule ~ no newly-purchased items allowed!

Here's the link to the post, including some pics from last year's "First Annual Darcy Family Yankee ReGifting Swap!":
