Have an Eco-Friendly Holiday Season!

 

Did you know that between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day Americans throw away almost a million extra tons of garbage each week?! Try to make waste reduction a priority this holiday season, even small steps can make a big difference. Try purchasing recycled paper, or using color comics for wrapping. Author Robert Lilienfeld notes that if every family reused just 2 feet of holiday ribbon, the 38,000 miles of ribbon saved could tie a bow around the entire planet! And for those of you decorating your homes and trees with holiday lighting, keep in mind that LED holiday lights use about 90 percent less energy than conventional lights.
