Using standard equipment (one 20-ft string of 100 incandescent bulbs using 40W of electricity x 9 such strings on average to light a Christmas tree and outdoor lights), for 6 hours a day means the typical household in the U.S. will use around 65 kWh of electricity in December \u2014 adding up to around $645 million spent by Americans this month running holiday lights.<\/p>\n<p>One solution? LED lights. LEDs may have a higher upfront cost, but they ultimately provide savings on your electric bill and reduce your GHG emissions. When you use\u00a0 LED bulbs for all your holiday lights, the amount of power you use drops by around 75%. Whether you strive for Clark Griswold-inspired lighting or a more modest holiday display, these holiday light calculators show you \u00a0 how much switching to LED lights can save you!<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Clark Griswold:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5732 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Griswold-energy-use-table.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Griswold-energy-use-table.png 705w, https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Griswold-energy-use-table-500x285.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Typical Lighting Display:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5731 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/US-energy-use-table.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/US-energy-use-table.png 706w, https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/US-energy-use-table-500x242.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Gift Giving\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Help reduce your footprint this holiday season with creative gift giving.

Some stores will even offer discounts towards the purchase of LEDs with a trade in.<\/p>\n<p>Opening presents is often a chaotic mess that leaves parents rushing to clean up wrapping paper, boxes and bows. Prepare ahead by following these steps to ensure that unwrapping presents can be as sustainable as possible by avoiding sending unnecessary materials to the landfill.<\/p>\n<p>Not all wrapping paper is recyclable. Before you begin wrapping, choose wrapping paper that can be recycled, or even better, choose wrapping paper that can be reused, such as a cloth wrap reusable jar, or tote bag. You can also upcycle brown paper bags and decorate them with holiday drawings. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VAFl3iOp5HY\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out this video<\/a> on how to do a Furoshiki Cloth Gift wrap.<\/p>\n<p>Make a fun game of cleaning up the mess. Provide several bins for sorting and cleaning up: one for garbage, one for recyclable materials, one for items that can be reused or upcycled, and one for unknown items. This can lead to meaningful conversations about what we use and a fun competition to see who can clean up the quickest and in the right way. Make sure to check with your local recycling facility to see which materials can be recycled and how they need to be separated. <a href=\"https:\/\/how2recycle.info\/check-locally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Use this link<\/a> to check different recycling options in your area.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Black Gold: The Gift of Compost\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5728\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cook-Farm-Goat-Christmas-Tree-500x500.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cook-Farm-Goat-Christmas-Tree-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cook-Farm-Goat-Christmas-Tree-1080x1080.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cook-Farm-Goat-Christmas-Tree-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cook-Farm-Goat-Christmas-Tree-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Cook-Farm-Goat-Christmas-Tree.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When organic matter (like your Christmas tree) breaks down in a landfill, it gives off a potent greenhouse gas called methane.
