For gift wrapping, you can start your own recycling program.
Use old posters, comics, colorful shopping bags, old calendars - even old maps make cool wraps!
Design your own gift-wrap by using a paper grocery or department store bag and adding decorations such as drawings, stamped patterns, or pictures cut from magazines. Let the kids do the designing. It will keep them busy on stormy days.
If you do use store bought wrapping paper, buy the kind with recycled content (the more post consumer, the better).
When you receive gifts, be sure to save the ribbons and bows. Click for additional tips on how to reduce your gift wrapping waste, or visit the Green Guide.
