Waste Reduction

Reducing waste during the holiday season is essential for a sustainable future. For gifts, buy local to find fun, unique items or offer experiences like concert tickets or museum visits. Plan holiday meals carefully to reduce food waste, and encourage guests to bring reusable containers for leftovers. After the holiday season, recycle your holiday tree by dropping it off at a nearby drop-off location.

By making a conscious effort to reduce waste this holiday season, you can contribute to a greener and cleaner San Diego for all!

Eco-Friendly Decorations

In addition to using LED string lights for sustainable holiday decor, there are lots of ways to make your home cozier and more energy efficient this season. Block the chill by weatherstripping doors and windows to keep the cold out and the heat in. Don’t forget to check for air leaks—small fixes can make a big difference. These simple steps will keep your home warm, your bills lower, and the planet a little greener.
