Heigh-ho! It’s the Holidays! What a trip! What a party! What a mess! Did you know that, during the Holiday Season, Americans typically generate 25% more trash  than the rest of the year?! Do you think, maybe, we could amend that figure? Sheesh! Talk about getting wasted! We could, you know, buck this terrible trend by utilizing Vashon’s free resources devoted to reducing waste and encouraging reusables. Make your next party a no-trash bash using the Vashon Dish Library. It’s all laid out for you on the Zero Waste Vashon website homepage under Quick Links. You can score nearly anything and everything you need for a Class-A event free of single-use items: dishware, tablecloths, linens and utensils. Forget paper and plastic. It’s like you made a real investment in this event. Additionally, you can avail yourself of the Vashon Chamber of Commerce’s Reusable Cup Project, which offers a stash of stainless cups that are perfect for beer, wine and other beverages. Contact the Chamber to learn more. Thank you for helping to keep Vashon clean and green over the holiday season.
