A

Lots of shopping honey, oh.

B

Yeah tis the season for online shopping and packaging waste am I right. Do you work here? Name's cardibor also known as your Source reduction fairy gosh father. You.

C

Just wait around at the dump for people to throw stuff away, not.

B

All heroes: wear capes somewhere in 3D printed plastic costume, glasses to establish an appealing recycling but I digress. Now, while we won't get to choose our excessively wrapped gifts, this holiday season, we do get to choose what we do with our one. Oh.

A

My God, oh my gosh, are you? Okay. Are you.

B

Hurt you know it really hurts knowing that 25 of all returned items and the lantern? Oh.

A

Okay, maybe we should just pause from the recycling facts for a moment and.

C

Let us call you an ambulance, I'll.

B

Need a ambulance if you keep forgetting to clean your recyclables of food debris new cardboard tutorial here: I'm gonna show you how to clean your recyclable of food debris step one retrieve your food step, two remove food from recyclable step, three rinse, your recyclable step, four, recycle, your recyclable or, if you keep throwing away perfectly reusable items that could go to churches, local charities, thrift stores. Okay, let's see what we have here. Oh Christmas tree you shouldn't have yeah I, know, I know: Christmas is my favorite holiday I.

B

Have an idea, don't go anywhere stay right. There don't move.

B

C

Is made of paper? Isn't it biodegradable.

B

In like three to eight months, landfills would reach capacity at an unsustainable rate. If biodegrading perfectly reusable materials took priority. Waste reduction is the name of the game.

A

So, to recap: we leave items unopen and unused if we plan to return them wrap.

C

Gifts without extra materials, bows ribbons and glitter last longer in landfills and under the tree, and if we happen to receive gifts with these types of papers, just be sure to separate them. From what we plan to recycle and.

A

And we really got to remember our cardboard can't get too wet or it can damage the machines that process them.

C

Be sure to break down your cardboard boxes, not doing so just wave space, which then wastes time money and other resources that could have been used to recycle more materials, but wait. What about styrofoam.
