January’s Action Item Is . . .
Think Waste Avoidance
A simple way to start your sustainable lifestyle is to avoid waste where possible. Plan ahead when shopping and consider the environmental and social impacts of what you are buying. In your choices, limit the potential for wasted food, unwanted gifts, single-use products, and excess packaging.
As you incorporate this action item into your daily personal life, also explore if the alcohol beverage trade can clean up its act too, reducing its impact on the environment and, quite possibly too, reducing unnecessary expenses.

Stay tuned, as each month we explore more ways to protect the environment!
