The holiday season is a fun time for friends and families, but the season also creates mountains of extra waste.It’s estimated that between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, over 1 million tons of additional waste are generated each week nationwide. Some 38,000 miles of ribbon alone is thrown out each year — enough to tie a bow around the Earth, according to CalRecycle (www.calrecycle.ca.gov).It’s easy to make more sustainable choices this time of year, keeping recycling, water conservation and other eco-friendly habits in mind.
