This Zero Waste Life

The New Year is a time for reflection and resetting. As we witness the escalating impacts of climate change – from devastating floods and wildfires to unprecedented heatwaves – the urgency of sustainable living has never been clearer. Corporate greed, and over consumption fuels this crisis, generating mountains of waste and contributing significantly to our environmental footprint.

The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and giving, but it can also lead to significant waste if we’re not careful. This year, why not embrace a zero waste approach to Christmas? Here are five thoughtful ideas and gifts that not only reduce waste but also promote sustainability and conscious living.
