Eco-friendly Presents
July 8, 2008
You don’t need sacrifice the earth for pretty gift wrapping, or vice versa. First and obviously, always recycle wrapping paper, and be sure to buy recyclable brands yourself. You might also consider avoiding paper all together. There are plenty of green alternatives if you think creatively! Instead of using store-bought, wasteful paper bows put an edible peace of candy or a fresh flower or pine cone on top. Wrap your gifts in colorful scarves or fabrics, or purchase special reusable fabric gift bags or tote bags (you’ll be encouraging your recipient to wrap green too!).
