Steve Scauzillo has taken the words of the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," by Clement Clarke Moore, as inspiration for a series of environmental messages. Consider at a pile of gifts under a environmentally-friendly Christmas tree (?).

‘Twas the night before Christmas … night, the best time to save energy by turning off lights and using only energy-efficient LED light bulbs...
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse: …with so many creatures leaving this earth forever, I’m appealing to homeowners to stop putting rat or mouse poison outside their homes to save the critters living inside our ecosystem.
