Environmental Tips for the Upcoming Holiday Season

http://www.newdream.org/holiday/tips.php

All,

Now that it's practically November, it's time to start thinking about the holidays. EPA estimates approximately 25% of annual MSW is generated between Thanksgiving and New Years. I thought you might like to go to the above link for lots of ideas to reduce waste this holiday season. One of my coworkers did a lot of research previously for the NJDEP version of a Green Holiday Guide. A lot of her tips have been incorporated into this this.

Enjoy!
