Make Your Holiday More Eco Friendly
During this time of year the landfills overflow with a beautiful blue/white for Hanukkah and red and green for Christmas. Yep, I’m talking about wrapping paper. Every year people buy wrapping paper in order to wrap all their presents for their loved ones. Only, that wrapping paper is used once and then chucked into the garbage. Not eco friendly at all.
The alternative. Use newspapers, magazines, or fabric to wrap your presents. Or, if you don’t like the look of newspaper, buy a Santa’s sack and (could also make a blue sack for Hanukkah) and have people reach in for the present. I personally love using newspaper and magazines. You can choose the image based on the interests of the person and you don’t feel guilty as you recycle the debris.
Are you absolutely devoted to wrapping paper and desperately want it/need it/have to have it? Then this year you’ve got something you need to do. When you unwrap any of your gifts, do so with the precision of a surgeon. Pack up the used wrapping paper nicely and save it for next year. This way, you have the traditional paper but it gets used a second time. Let’s eco up the holidays and direct that gift giving to mother nature. My gift is going to be less trash.
