<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWaste Not!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you consider how much packaging and unused material gifts end up in landfills, eco-friendly gift alternatives not only help others in need, but also have the added benefit of protecting our environment! For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The United States Environmental Protection Agency reports that as of 2018, Americans produce “4.9 pounds of municipal solid waste per person per day.”<\/a><\/li>
- Stanford University’s Recycling Center states that the average American’s waste production increases by 25% during the holiday gift-giving season<\/a> between Thanksgiving and Christmas, contributing to an overwhelming 25 million tons of extra waste.<\/li>
- According to research conducted by Frontier Group, American’s produce 30% of the planet’s total waste, and just under 30% of it comes from containers a<\/a>nd packaging<\/a>! <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Frontier Group also mentions how even small changes can collectively make a big difference in reducing waste. So kudos to you for your interest in eco-friendly gift giving! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
