As the holidays approach, Green Monday, observed on the second Monday of December, promotes sustainable shopping practices during the busiest retail season. Coined in 2007, Green Monday marks one of the biggest online shopping days of the year, and it’s an opportunity to rethink holiday gifting.

To embrace eco-friendly shopping, consider buying locally-made products to reduce your carbon footprint or opting for gifts crafted from recycled materials. Experiences, such as concert tickets or a cooking class, are thoughtful alternatives that don’t generate waste. Another tip is to wrap presents using reusable materials like fabric or biodegradable paper.

Green Monday reminds us that our purchasing choices can impact the planet. By prioritizing sustainable practices, we can celebrate the season while protecting the environment for future generations.
