World Wisdom: Harmless Holiday Habits

Harmless Harvest—the world's first Fair for Life certified organic coconut water—recently surveyed 1,000 Americans about their "Harmless Holiday Habits." Key findings include:

*** Harmless Holiday Habits National Survey ***

>>  IT'S (ECO) LIT
1 in 5 Americans said they use energy-efficient holiday lights and decorations around the house. This easy action adds up, and can mean more for gifts or in your wallet.

>>  RECYCLE, REUSE, REJOICE
20% of people said they recycle their wrapping paper and reuse gift bags in an effort to reduce their impact on the environment.

>> LOCAL IS BETTER
12% of people surveyed said they like to shop local and support small businesses in their area. Most of these places will have special offers and will even provide free gift wrapping for their customers.

>> 'TIS THE SEASON FOR GIVING BACK
1 in 8 Americans donate money/goods or volunteer in their local communities to give back this holiday season. Consider contributing to a local toy or canned food drive this season.

What better to reward these harmless holiday habits than having a festive signature drink to toast?! (Plus, the new 32-oz Harmless Harvest bottle is the perfect size for making a punch-bowl of this holiday cocktail or mocktail):
