Ready for the winter break🎄🎊? Here are some tips on how to reduce waste over this holiday season🌱🌍!
Just a few things to keep in mind this holiday season!♥️
Of course we all have different access and privilege to be able to do these things, so this list is just a guideline. However, if we all tried to do what we can, even if it’s just ONE thing on this list, we can significantly lower the amount of waste we produce over the holidays. The holiday season should be focused on our love for each other (including our planet), not consumerism. I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy things, decorate or party, I’m just saying we should be mindful while doing so! Think about the impact we would have, if we all just did a little?
These are the topics we will be covering over the next while, so be sure to stick around if you’re interested 🎄!!
