From The Green Dandelion: Green Tips for the Holidays<\/a><\/p>\n

“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 <\/a><\/u>between Thanksgiving until New Year\u2019s compared to the entire rest of the year\u2014this amounts to 25 million tons of garbage! Over 333 million<\/a><\/u> square feet of wrapping paper, or 5,787 NFL football fields worth, is used to package gifts. More than 2 billion<\/a><\/u> holiday cards are sent each year, enough to fill a football field 10 stories high. Packaging from online shopping generates nearly a third<\/a><\/u> of solid waste. Fortunately, there are many ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle during this time of year.”<\/p>\n
