Program Description

Event Details

Did you know that, in the US alone, we use 4 million tons of gift wrap and decorations each year and this just gets added to landfills after the holidays? This is a 25% increase over normal waste volume between Thanksgiving and New Year! Join us to learn about ways to creatively wrap your gifts this year to help reduce the impact the holiday season has on waste. Bring a gift along to wrap at the event, and take home tips for the rest of your presents!
