'Tis the season to spread eco-cheer with a sustainable spirit. We can decorate to celebrate with Zero Waste intentions! Let's do 1Thing together! Green Up Y'all!
Holiday Trees
Authentic trees become toxic fillers with millions of real Christmas trees ending up in landfill . Rather than cutting down a tree, get a potted Christmas tree. You can plant it after the holidays are over! Or be sure to recycle your Christmas tree at the end of the season. Do 1 Thing Together ATX
Artificial trees ... It's difficult to find an artifical tree that is not made from PVC or some kind of plastic. Using the same tree year after year can be more helpful than having a new one every year. There are some trees made from recycled PVC which is a better artificial option. Here are a few.
Decorations
Enjoying all the pretty lights, ornaments, wrapped gifts, cards and more are a big part of holiday traditions. Huge part of overconsumption too! The best option is to reuse what you already have. Recycle rather than filling landfills. Enjoy the moments and experiences that create traditions filled with wonderful memories you can cherish! Here are ways to get your eco-cheer on towards a Zero waste Christmas. Many more Zero Waste Intentions for the holiday season here!
