Low-impact holiday tips

This holiday season, take care of the planet and the people you love. 💚 Here are some low-impact holiday tips:

📝 Make lists of your gifts and meals to avoid over-consumption and waste of food. Even better: ask for a wish list or opt for a gift card to somewhere they love.

🧶Be creative by making your holiday decorations with materials already in the house.

🚚 Shop local! Not only does supporting local help your community, but it also means you are reducing the environmental impact of long distance deliveries.

🌲 Don’t send your tree to the dump after Christmas! It will decompose without oxygen and produce more methane, which is far more damaging than CO2. Instead, chop it up for a campfire or let it rot down on your property to provide habitat for wildlife and feed your garden.

🎁 Make your own wrapping and if you can, avoid any form of plastic.

🎟 Give EXPERIENCES! Things like tickets to shows or concerts, visits to museums or an art gallery, and massage/manicure/pedicure are a classic zero-waste gift option.

🍪 Can’t go wrong with baked goods! Cook your friend some delicious cookies, cakes and desserts. Make sure to wrap them up in a plastic-free container.
