3. Cardboard boxes can be covered and used as decorative storage OR re-used to pack and ship items.
4. When holiday shopping for gifts or food, remember to carry your reusable bags to avoid unnecessary plastic grocery bags. 
5. Remember to store food leftovers in reusable containers and avoid single-use plastic wrap, bags and foil.
