For a greener holiday season, why not try to choose durable instead of disposable, and compostable instead of plastic? Or save those unusable food scraps from the landfill by dropping them off for composting! Most Northern Virginia areas have composting facilities—google “[your county or city] + food composting”—and some local farmers markets also have food waste collection stations.
See more ways you can reduce waste at Mason on the updated Zero Waste Mason webpage.
