This is just a fun little look at Santa’s not so green, and kinda bad behaviors. I wanted to pass along this fun holiday infographic that was recently produced for Ethical Ocean: Santa’s Carbon Footprint.  While there, just click on What’s Santa’s Carbon Footprint, to expand the page. The graphic takes a close look at Santa’s non-green behaviors, and how he too can adopt a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.

At Ethical Ocean, they all know that with the end of December quickly approaching, Santa is busy getting everything set for his worldwide tour. The boots he has to fill sure can, and do leave a large footprint behind. So, they took a look at Santa’s environmental impact, and tried to see if they could help him run a slightly more eco-friendly operation. This is what they came up with.  Enjoy, and feel free to comment!  🙂
