Do you have ideas about holiday gift-giving that does not create more egregious
waste?
Please share. I struggle with this myself.
Here are my ideas:
1. Discuss purchasing a local farm share with your friend, family member, or
loved one, for year-round pickup in the Heights, on Lowell Street, from Farmer
Dave?s:

A farm share will provide healthy, in-season, local produce with little to no
packaging.
2. Consider locally-crafted gifts from seasonal artists fairs.
3. Make something yourself. Baked goods, jams, and fermented foods are a
terrific idea.
4. Give a vintage item, possibly something you already own, something without
packaging that was long ago manufactured and looking for a new home.
5. Consider offering a service (snow shoveling, etc) or a donation to your
friend?s favorite charity.
6. For folks who are committed to cooking at home and eating healthy meals, but
want to move away from cooking with nat gas (which leak cancerous benzene and
irritates asthma),? for around a $100, you can purchase an electric kettle,
portable induction cooktop, or instant pot pressure cooker. You might find
these items on eBay, used.
& Have Happy International Buy-Nothing Day (aka: Black Friday)
Best wishes,
