We MUST curb our wasteful holiday celebration behaviors. GreenCitizen identifies 30+ sustainable holiday tips to promote eco-conscious holiday celebrations in this guide.
It's that magical time of year again!
But here's the catch – it's also when we tend to be a bit too generous with our waste. Did you know that during the holiday season, we Americans throw away 25% more stuff?
That's like adding a whopping one million extra tons of trash each week!
Think about it — all the festive food, those long journeys to see family, and the mountains of gift wrap. Sadly, most of this ends up harming our lovely planet. Leftover turkey and pie? They're not just going to waste; they don't properly break down in landfills.
And all that traveling?
It's like we're giving Mother Nature a giant carbon footprint for Christmas. Plus, let's not even get started on the crazy amount of wrapping paper we toss.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting we cancel Thanksgiving or Christmas — trust me, I'd be the last person to give up holiday celebrations!
But this year, I've decided to try something different. I'm aiming for a sustainable holiday season. This way, I can still bask in the holiday cheer without guilt, knowing I'm doing my bit for the environment.
So, here's a guide to a greener holiday. These are the sustainable holiday tips and tricks I'm using to make my celebrations more eco-friendly.
