Reduce, reuse, recycle
for a green Christmas

LET THE Ghost of Christmas
Past help you with your holiday
planning.

An old-fashioned Christmas
used to include decorating, gift
wrapping and gift giving without
an excess of disposable packaging
and wrapping. Every year, activi-
ties at Christmas lead to creating
mounds of garbage.

But you can enjoy the spirit of
Christmas by using a little
creativity that can save you moncy
and help to reduce waste during
the holiday season.

Transform old materials into
new gifts and decorations. Reuse
materials such as old Christmas
cards to make gift tags, and gift
boxes. Use fabric scraps to make
gift bags that can be used every
year.

Paper gift wrap is not usually
recyclable because of the highly
colored inks and shiny textures.
Give a gift in a reusable wrapping
such as a brightly colored tea
towel, pillow case or cloth napkin.

Reusable containers such as
baskets or ceramic pots can hold
special homemade crafts or edi-
bles,

If you are planning a Christmas
party think like Scrooge and save
yourself the expense of buying
overpackaged products, or
disposable products such as paper
napkins, and plastic cutlery, dishes
and beverage containers,

Enjoy preparing for Christmas
using Reduce, Reuse Recycle (3R)
ideas from the Greater Vancouver
Regional District’s (GVRD) Waste
Reduction Workshops.

Learn more 3R craft ideas and
find out about waste reduction at
Christmas by booking a_ free
community group or teacher
workshop. Free print materials
included.

Waste Reduction Workshops
are available throughout the year.
Call the Communications and
Education Department at the
GYRD (432-6339).
