Hosts Gretchen Carey and Waneta Trabert talk with Kelley Dennings of the Center for Biological Diversity about simplifying the holidays and reducing waste. They discuss top holiday waste generators, alternative gift ideas, hosting and decorating, the role of public policy, great tools you can find on https://simplifytheholidays.org, and the perceived barriers to celebrating with fewer material items. Should you buy a fake or real Christmas tree? Is wrapping paper recyclable? All this, and more, in this great conversation. Find Kelley Dennings at kdennings@biologicaldiversity.org.
