Did you know household waste goes up 25% between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day? This holiday season, we have plenty of opportunities to reduce waste in our gift-giving, decorating and entertaining.
Visit the Green Your Holidays Workshop at Gilman Village in Issaquah on Saturday November 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and learn how to make the season bright and less wasteful.
Find green gift and décor ideas, learn no-waste gift wrap techniques, watch a chef demo, and kids can set their imaginations free at the recycled-materials ornament station.
