A happy holiday season doesn&#8217;t have to be wasteful, though. Check out the tips below for easy ways to minimize your waste (and maybe some stress) this Winter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Give the gift of an experience rather than an object. Consider gifting your time (cooking, pet sitting, cleaning, gardening, etc.), a philanthropic donation, tickets to an event, or even an e-gift card to a restaurant.<\/li>\n<li>Ditch the wrapping paper. Go paperless altogether, or wrap gifts in reusable fabric, old magazine pages, Sunday comics, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Shop local. Whether you are buying food, drinks, or physical gifts, shop from local makers and markets to reduce environmental impacts associated with transportation. Plus, you&#8217;ll be supporting our local economy!<\/li>\n<li>Make the switch from disposable to reusable batteries for your electronics.<\/li>\n<li>If you are hosting people for a holiday meal, plan ahead to minimize food waste. Online tools, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/savethefood.com\/guestimator\/guests#guest-container\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guest-imator<\/a>, make it easy to plan appropriate serving sizes. Encourage guests to bring containers for leftovers, and have a plan to repurpose your leftovers into new culinary creations.<\/li>\n<li>Recycle cardboard boxes, non-glitter wrapping paper, tissue paper, and greeting cards (no glitter or photo cards) once the festivities are over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The winter holiday season is exceptionally wasteful, so try some of these tips to reduce your impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":2307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[51,53],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2306"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marborg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
