According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the amount of waste produced by households in the United States can increase by 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
As much as 80 percent of this holiday waste can be reused, repurposed, or recycled, providing an opportunity for mindful consumption and waste reduction.
