Go Green This Holiday Season With These 10 Renewable Gift Ideas

Christmas is now in full swing! If you're looking for an impressive gift for your loved ones this year, sustainability is the true gift that keeps on giving.

To many people, the holiday season means delicious food, presents, and spending time with family and friends. But for our planet, the holiday season means 25% more waste is created. That’s about 1 million extra tons of garbage per week!

Instead of contributing unnecessary waste during the jolliest time of the year, keep the environment in mind while you’re buying your gifts.
