As we gear up for the holiday season, here are some eco-conscious gift ideas! ❄️🎁

Did you know that, on average, 25% more waste is generated during the holiday season? Consumerism also contributes to waste production by encouraging consumers to buy new products and lowering prices. However, these low prices often come with low product quality and unethical production. Here are some ways to be more conscious of the waste generated during the holidays, and sustainable gifting practices!

Happy Holidays, Tritons! 🎁🎄🕎✨
