From The Green Dandelion: Green Tips for the Holidays
“While the holidays are for gifting and enjoying delicious meals, it is also the most wasteful time of year in the United States. Americans dispose of 25% more trash between Thanksgiving until New Year’s compared to the entire rest of the year—this amounts to 25 million tons of garbage! Over 333 million square feet of wrapping paper, or 5,787 NFL football fields worth, is used to package gifts. More than 2 billion holiday cards are sent each year, enough to fill a football field 10 stories high. Packaging from online shopping generates nearly a third of solid waste. Fortunately, there are many ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle during this time of year.”
