About

Simplify the Holidays is an award-winning program of the Center for Biological Diversity. Aligned with our mission of saving life on Earth and our belief in the interconnectedness of human life with nature, Simplify the Holidays seeks to empower individuals and families to be more conscious of the impacts of holiday traditions, and in doing so, reconnect with meaningful and lasting celebrations. 

 The Center’s Population and Sustainability program addresses the human impacts on wildlife and the environment caused by population pressure and destructive consumption and production. We fight for solutions that advance justice, equity, health, and a compassionate world where both people and wildlife can thrive. Simplify the Holidays was originally a project of New Dream before becoming a part of the Center’s sustainability campaign.
