‘Tis the season, indeed. For useless gifts, too much sparkly wrapping paper, and just overall too much merriment. It’s time we cancel the holidays in the name of sustainability. Just kidding!

In today’s episode, we discuss the grey area of balancing the joys of celebrating the holiday season with loved ones while also minimizing that consumerism pressure and the environmental impact of said consumption.

So grab some tea, get comfy, and hit that play button.
