According to Stanford University research, Americans will throw out an extra 25% of trash, amounting to about 25 million extra tons, during the holiday season.
The point is not to skip celebrating. The point is to understand the impacts those celebrations have, and to choose ways to minimize those impacts.
Seventy-one million Americans drove more than 50 miles for Thanksgiving in 2024, marking a 2.1% increase over 2023 and the highest figure in history.
Taking small actions, rather than feeling guilty, is an effective way to reduce waste and celebrate the holidays sustainably.
