-- Reduce Waste this Christmas --

Christmas is responsible for more waste and consumption than any other holiday. North American’s trash increases by 25% over Christmas - which equates to 25 million extra tons of garbage going to the landfill. By recognizing the incredible waste that is generated the urgency to do something becomes apparent. A truly useful or environment friendly gift, using eco-friendly wrapping is a better ecological choice.

Scroll through the Brummet's Conscious Blog's previous posts to find interesting eco-friendly gifts and activities for the family, group or individual over the holiday season... Or head over to www.brummet.ca/trashtalk.html to find the Trash Talk book which lists common items found in waste and recycling bins and offers ways you can reuse them as a valuable, time-saving and money-saving product.
