The holidays are all about getting together with friends and family and enjoying food (lots of food!). As a result, this time of year can create a lot of food waste. Follow these take-action tips for reducing food waste this holiday season.
Tips
Each year, Canadians produce 545,000 tonnes of waste from gift wrap and shopping bags. Help reduce this amount by following these take-action tips.

Rethink gift giving this holiday season by giving gifts that promote and encourage waste reduction.
