Whether you love it or hate it, there is no getting around the hustle and bustle this time of year. And if you happen to be the ‘lucky one’ hosting a holiday party, you could have even more to deal with.

From the non-recyclable decorations like tinsel to the food waste and abundant buffet spreads to the garbage can filled with tons of gift wrap it can be difficult to keep things green.
