Give less and you shall receive
The holiday season has come to a close and so has the Compete to Conserve Give More & Use Less Holiday Competition. We were really impressed with the ideas our members shared for how to have a more sustainable holiday season. Entries ranged from making reindeer ornaments out of wine corks to adopting families in need to sharing a little technical know-how by backing up loved ones’ data.
The winner is gcrush whose entry warmed our hearts by reminding us what the holiday season is really about: spending time with people you love and sharing yourself with them. Here are some of gcrush’s ideas to Give More by Giving Less:
- Spend quality time with your lover.
- A gift of time and love goes a lot farther and longer than any purchase.
- Be present (that’s a present all in itself).
- Love had you like never loved before!
This is our give more by giving less, and we like to spread this all year long! - georgette (and shone)
We couldn’t agree more, Georgette! We’re happy to welcome you to the Compete to Conserve community.
