Green Tip of the Day

REUSABLE GIFT WRAP

Think about packaging your presents in materials that the recipient can use again (like cloth) for a less-wasteful version of gift-giving. Wrap small presents in a pretty cotton tea towel or bandana (organic cotton or hemp preferred) so that the "wrap" becomes part of the gift

If your circle of friends and family start doing this, you'll all have to buy a lot less wrap. If every American family wrapped just three gifts in reused or reusable materials, we'd all save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields, every year.
