Christmas is fast approaching.
And as you think about how you and your family will celebrate Christmas this year, you may be wondering how to save money and minimize waste.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, between Thanksgiving through New Year’s, Americans throw out 25 % more waste.
Holiday waste surge equals approximately 1 million extra tons of trash every year.
