If you love someone, then stop gifting them trash. The culture of gift-giving is meant to express admiration and appreciation, yet the presents we so lovingly select with the best of intentions are contributing to the degradation of our planet, and our homes. Ensuring this year's birthday present doesn't end up in next year's landfill should be priority #1. Let's normalize green gift-giving by showering the ones we love with items they will actually use, and items that are gentle on our planet. Below are 4 ideas for gifts that create love, not trash:
1. Gift a service like a professional massage or lawn care
2. Bake them a pie, cookies, or their favorite meal
3. Regift an item you haven't use that you know they'll love
4. Buy them a gift card from a reputable zero waste company (Hint Hint)
