How To Make The Holidays Low-Waste...
Let's try to reduce this holiday season...
It's that time of the year! Here are some tips and tricks to try to reduce that waste-footprint...
- Go Second Hand: This keeps stuff out of the landfills and saves you some serious bucks : )
- Shop Small & Local: Support small, local, and sustainable businesses and ditch all that packaging and those transport miles : )
- Gift Experiences, Not Stuff: Outings, meals, classes, you name it... memories last longer than clothing : )
- Give Back / Donate: Support the organizations that bring value to the communities that matter to you : )
- Ditch Gift Wrap: Get your repurpose game on… think newspaper, magazines, and more : )
Give gifts without the waste! This holiday season, we want to encourage folks to consume with purpose, opting for functional, durable goods made to last, that are good for you, the community, and the planet. And sometimes the most thoughtful gift does not require a purchase at all!
If you do find yourself in the gift market, we hope you will consider your local refill shop. We are offering discounted, low-waste, holiday gift bundles and gift cards that are perfect for the holidays and a great way to nudge a friend or family member in the plastic-free direction.
If you are looking for a business offering for clients or for employees, Re-Up can provide you with low-waste gift bundles that send a message of value, impact, and community. Please reach out to matt@wastewhat.org if you want to learn more about this offering!
Holiday hours update... your local refill shop will be completely closed on December 25 and January 1. We will be closing early at 5:00 PM on December 24. Happy happy holidays : )
