How many gifts are you planning to wrap this holiday season?
According to recycleworks.org, "In the U.S., annual trash from gift-wrap and shopping bags totals four million tons." Not a very nice present for Mother Nature. I hope knowing this information will make you consider some eco-friendly alternatives to wrapping paper.
Need some ideas? **Reuse brown paper bags, tote bags, newspapers, comic books, phone books, magazines, butcher paper or tissue paper.
**Use fabric gift bags. Sew a gift bag out of colorful pillowcase, sheet or old clothes.
**Instead of a bow, use a natural finishing touch and pick up some evergreen or leaves from your yard.
Don't have the time to be this creative? 100-percent-recycled gift-wrap is also available at a number of online retailers or stores.
HAPPY WRAPPING!
