Happy Holidays from Minnesota 2020! We hope you are enjoying the season with your family and friends. Once the cookies are eaten and the presents are opened, many of us are faced with the excess waste inevitably created. Here are a few tips to make sure your cleanup is sustainable. Special thanks to Earth 911 for the ideas.
• Recycle or reuse that wrapping paper! Wrapping paper is just as recyclable as all the other paper you recycle. Better yet, reuse it for future gifts.
