Simplify the Holidays

Americans throw away 25% more trash during Thanksgiving to New Year's holiday season than at any other time of the year. This amounts to 25 million tons of trash! In an effort to help reduce this waste, Kanu Hawaii and Kokua Hawaii Foundation have teamed up for the third year to challenge people to Simplify the Holidays. Make a personal commitment on KanuHawaii.org website to cut waste, organize your own gift exchange or clothes swaps, host zero waste holiday party, or invent your own waste-cutting holiday tradition. Most important - help lead others with your example: journal about it on KanuHawaii.org by clicking on the orange "Journal!" button and share a pic, video, or story about how you'll simplify. Be inspired by what others have shared, too!
