This holiday season, Metro Vancouver is encouraging people to become ‘green angels’ by creating memories, not garbage. In other words, help reduce the amount of garbage this season by giving high quality and meaningful gifts such as experiences or home-made goods.
Metro Vancouver’s Create Memories, Not Garbage campaign is one that we at Green Coast Rubbish fully endorse and support. It’s just one step in many towards creating a Zero Waste Vancouver by 2020.
And to get into the holiday spirit, here are some of our green gift ideas …
- Treat friends and loved ones to a spa treatment such as haircuts, pedicures, manicures and massages.
- Purchase cooking classes for the aspiring cooks in your life.
- Book those much needed dance lessons for that ‘dancing impaired’ friend.
- Buy toys that are high in quality and durable. That way you can pass them along to others.
- Take your significant other zip-lining or skiing at Whistler.
Visit the Create Memories, Not Garbage website for fantastic green gift ideas (many submitted by readers), e-Cards, videos, and information about our waste issues.
Help reduce the impact holiday-related garbage will have on the environment by joining us in becoming green angels this season. Happy holidays from everyone here at Green Coast Rubbish!
