25 Million Tons Later: Tackling Holiday Waste with Simple Changes
Description
In my very first solo episode of The Live Lightly Podcast I explore the impact of holiday waste on the environment, particularly focusing on plastic pollution, gift wrapping, packaging waste, and food waste. I share staggering statistics about the increase in waste during the holiday season and offer some, simple practical tips for reducing waste, such as choosing eco-friendly and non-physical gifts, repurposing materials for wrapping, and minimizing food waste. I discuss the importance of making small, intentional choices to live more sustainably and encourage listeners to be mindful of their consumption during the holidays.
