This con- tributes to the more than 30 million tonnes of garbage Canadians produce every year â€" more than one tonne per person. Gift bags can be used year after year. Save the wrapping paper and bows on the gifts you receive for re-use next year. 6. Use AC power for toys instead of batteries wherever possible. Batteries are not recyclable and contain some dangerous chemicals.

When you leave all your errands to the last minute, you have to deal with line-ups and traffic jams every- where you go. And never mind trying to find a parking space! This year, buy your gifts early. Set a spending limit and stick to it. You’ll thank yourself when the bills appear in January. If you’re travelling over the holi- days, remember that bad weather isn’t the only hazard. Stress is a contribut- ing factor in many car collisions, and 85 per cent of collisions can be avoid- ed.
