Think GREEN for the Holidays
Give a gift of sustainability! Check your local nursery and give a pine tree (with the roots bundled) so it can be planted in the Spring. The ReUse and Recycling Center has compost bins for $45. We also have gift certificates in any denomination.
Gifts you make - It’s not just those ashtrays you made your parents in second grade. Most people love to receive personal gifts—make your own, or visit the ReUse Center and buy one-of-a-kind locally made gifts.
Gifts of yourself - The “Information Age” has not carried everyone with it. Offer to help a loved one transfer that box of family photos into digital format to share with others. Or set a routine date to help them clean and organize computer files and back up data.
FYI - Paper gift wrap is recyclable; put it in with mixed paper. Or better yet reuse it for another gift or craft.
#NPRRC Open Tuesday through Saturday 9am to 4:30. CLOSED Wednesday December 25th and Wednesday, January 1st.
