'Tis the season for joy, traditions, celebration... and waste. Americans produce one million extra tons of trash than the rest of the year between Thanksgiving and New Year's. Bah humbug!

Don't let waste dim the holiday spirit. It's easy to make switches from decor and wrapping to gifts and cooking to create a merry, bright and waste free holiday season.

Join the Greenwich Conservation Commission and Waste Free Greenwich for a virtual lunch and learn hosted by the PTA Council Green Schools Committee of Greenwich Public Schools to learn about practices and tips to green your holiday celebration with these featured presenters:

• Julie DesChamps, Founder and Chair, Waste Free Greenwich

• Sarah Coccaro, Assistant Director, Greenwich Environmental Affairs

• Rebecca Poirier, Environmental Analyst, Greenwich Environmental Affairs
