While the holiday season is a time filled with joy, family, and festivities, it also comes with an environmental cost. The abundance of decorations, gift-giving, and parties that we participate in can create excess waste and energy usage. When we multiply the decorations, parties, and gift-giving by all of us throughout British Columbia, who celebrate the holidays, it becomes apparent how quickly excess waste and energy usage add up.
With the dark days and cold weather, it’s like we blinked and suddenly Christmas is just around the corner. We love this time of year!
