Description

Gretchen and Waneta talk with Kelley Dennings of the Center for Biological Diversity about simplifying the holidays and reducing waste. They discuss top holiday waste generators, alternative gift ideas, hosting and decorating, the role of public policy, and the perceived barriers to celebrating with fewer material items.  Should you buy a fake or real Christmas tree? Is wrapping paper recyclable? All this and more, in this lively conversation.
