Every holiday season, mountains of waste are generated that harm our environment. In fact, we throw away at least 25% more trash during the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than any other time of year.
The holiday season should be a time for celebration with friends and family, but advertisements telling us we need to buy more and more stuff can be overwhelming. A lot of the waste that comes from holiday meals, gift giving and packaging can be avoided.
That’s why PIRG and Environment America are hosting a “Waste less, celebrate more: Tips for a zero waste holiday” webinar on Monday, December 2 at 7:00 pm ET.
Join us to learn how to reduce waste during the holidays with our panel of experts from PIRG and Environment America.
We’ll be sharing tips to reduce all types of common holiday waste, from wasteful packaging and gift wrapping to food, technology, and clothing waste. You’ll also be able to watch a live demonstration on zero waste gift wrapping.
As we shop for the holidays, the gifts we give can support a more sustainable and healthy world and, in some cases, create new memories with our loved ones.
Bring your own environmentally-friendly traditions to share, and invite family and friends to join in the celebration!
