It’s Earth Day in the year 2040—the world transformed into a utopia of zero-waste, where every package dissolves into the environment, leaving no trace of pollution. The air is fresher, the rivers clearer, and the streets are free from the clutter of single-use plastics. Companies across the globe have embraced this revolution, investing in technologies designed for biodegradability. Consumers no longer worry about their carbon footprint when shopping but instead, marvel at how they help the planet heal.

A world without bees would not be as sweet. Honey, wax, propolis, royal jelly, pollen, and even bee venom would not exist in the place we call home. Today, on World Bee Day, we celebrate and honor the tiny, but mighty workers who help to improve our environment and acknowledge how important it is to ensure they stay alive.

No matter the size of your holiday gatherings this year, you’ll probably be going through a lot of paper products and plastic. As presents and letters make their way to family and friends via mail and package delivery, it’s time to make a plan on how to keep your holidays sustainable and recycle packaging waste the right way.

If you’re mailing out Christmas cards or wrapping up presents to ship across the country, consider the materials used to wrap your gifts, construct your Christmas cards, and keep your holiday gifts safe on their journey to your loved ones.

Sustainability starts at home. With more and more of us working from home, now is as good an opportunity as ever to improve sustainability habits.
