Hanna Seligmann works for the joined Seligmann recently during one of her talks.“So let’s figure out what is in our bag of trash.”She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season.”You can sort it as a cardboard item or you can sort it as a plastic item.”Seligmann works with volunteers.“We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper,old magazines,using a gift within a g can wrap something in a reusable napkin,wrap something in a scarf,or a shawl（围巾）or even a reusable tote bag（大手提袋）.”

Lori Arguelles is the executive director for environmental education at the Alice Ferguson Foundation.”Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem,not getting to the root so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative（项目）itself.”

One activity is called the Trash Timeline teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose at the same example,paper dissolves in about four apple core takes two months.A metal can takes up to 100 years.A plastic bag will not decompose for 450 s takes 1,000 ,they say, styrofoam（泡沫聚苯乙烯）never dissolves.

Young people taking part in the program learn that reducing waste is important not just during the holidays,but every day of the year.
