reduce holiday waste

The holiday season is coming up soon and you can help reduce waste by planning ahead for celebrations.  Work with friends or family to collect ideas and share the importance of reducing waste this season. Some ways to get started are:

1. Ask your friends and family to bring reusable containers to store leftovers after a celebratory meal

2. Start saving boxes, newspaper, and bags to reuse for gift giving

3. Shop at local stores for gifts and decorations to eliminate waste from shipping
