The holiday spirit in New Albany, Ohio, has taken a green turn this season, with the local government encouraging residents to embrace sustainability. In a recent social media post, the New Albany Ohio Government called on community members to consider environmentally friendly practices during their festive celebrations.
Shared on their official Facebook page, the government entity highlighted the 'Green Holiday Guide' provided by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO). This resource is handed out with the intent to offer straightforward and practical advice for holiday shoppers and celebrators. According to the post, the guide details how to shop smarter, repurpose items, and recycle properly. The intention is to reduce waste without diminishing the holiday cheer.

Not only does it provide suggestions for these common holiday activities, but it also aims to educate residents on proper recycling protocols to keep the season’s footprint light on the earth.
