The amount of waste that people produce today is increasing each year. During the holiday season, the amount of waste is even more significant. For instance, the amount of waste increases by 25% during the Thanksgiving and winter holiday seasons. Apart from food waste, during this period, the dumpsters are also filled with winter decorations, greeting cards, or wrapping paper. When you think about this, the holiday period doesn’t seem so merry and bright.
Yet, the situation is not as nasty as it seems! Brightly offers a viable solution by putting sustainability on top of the gift-giving list. It is an online storefront that promotes environmental protection. Their holiday staples promote these principles and come with a unique and special eco-friendly gifting.
