Did you know Americans throw away about 25% more trash than usual between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve? If every American family wrapped just three presents in reused materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields!

December challenge: Be Environmentally Friendly over the Holidays. Our Green Challenge for the month is to make some changes this holiday season by using reusable bags for gifts, creating your own bows from magazines, or wrapping with recyclable materials. #DecGreenChallenge

Here is an example of a bow the Green Team made last year! #DecGreenChallenge

January Green Challenge is to stop using single-use disposable beverage containers for one month! This means bringing your own water bottle, flavored water, and coffee mug! Can you do it? Don't forget to take a picture of your reusable beverage containers and tag HilburnGoesGreen
