However my takeaway was not that the DPW should have more open times for us and our trash. I was struck by how our beloved holidays seem to have turned into an extreme form of consumerism. I know I am prone to those last minute internet purchases, just in case I don't have enough gifts for friends/kids. So let's start 2025 with a different mindset that will reduce how much trash we create...just think of every piece of trash from Lincoln being incinerated in North Andover and the pollution that ensues. Here are a few options. Skip online purchases and all the packaging Buy second hand/ clothing and toy swaps/ do with less Support zero waste stores- Debra's Natural Gourmet has a fantastic bulk purchasing section Avoid plastic whenever possible And check out "Buy Now: the shopping conspiracy" on Netflix.
