Tips for a More Sustainable Holiday

• The US EPA estimates between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the amount of trash produced in the United States increases by an estimated 25%—that’s about one million extra tons of garbage each week. With a bit of proactive planning, you can waste less, save money and incorporate sustainable behaviors into your holiday traditions. Try some of our suggestions below for a more sustainable holiday season:
• Reduce present packaging and waste by giving gifts of experience.
• If you do want to decorate a present or package, reuse the trimmings (bows, tissue paper, bags) from last year.
• Recycle right this holiday season by keeping recyclables empty, clean, and dry. Remember that most shiny or glittery wrapping paper is not-recyclable. Try using newspaper, cloth wrapping alternatives, or reusable bags!
