You could spruce up a friend’s or family member’s bike for Christmas, treat someone to a performance and hold secret Santa charity exchanges at work.
These are some of the ideas provided in this year’s Metro Vancouver Create Memories, Not Garbage holiday campaign, which runs until Dec. 24.
For the eighth year, the Lower Mainland regional government is encouraging people to invest in creating memories rather than only buying gifts this holiday season.
Gifts such as child minding or dog walking, festively wrapping up leftovers for your holiday dinner guests, or buying a gift for the whole family are meaningful ways to show how much you care.
This waste-reduction campaign will run from now through December with advertising on bus exteriors, bus shelters and at public transit facilities, in social media, online and on TV.
Many green gift Ideas are posted on Metro Vancouver’s Create Memories, not Garbage website (www.metrovancouver.org/christmas).
Metro Vancouver is also asking residents to share their green gift ideas and tips for creating memories using #GreenAngel on social media.
