green holiday gifts

The EPA estimates that solid waste (trash, not what you're thinking) per person per day has doubled in the last 35 years. The average person now produces 4.4 pounds of waste per day. That's pretty striking. It's not just the problem of what we do with the waste, it's showing we are consuming more. What can we do? Reduce. Take a second while you're shopping this holiday season and remember these tips:

1. Paper or Plastic? None.
2. If you need a bag, bring your own, or consolidate your purchases into one bag.
