Wrapping Paper
For years our family has been diligent about recycling. But in 2008 we lifted the screen. We'll remove the wrapping and vacation. Yes, I wrapped my gift last Christmas and my last letter. Although he always used wrapping paper and holiday cards in the trash and keep careful bows for future use, seem simply not enough.
Yes, yes, I know you can buy gift wrap and Christmas Thanksgiving and Hanukkah cards that are made from recycled materials. But I think it is time to kill, destroy the environment of these traditions.
Do we really need to wait for Oprah to publish a press release stating it will not use more paper gift before we decide to act? Come on, hate anyway gift packaging and you're tired of working hard to wrap the perfect Martha Stewart as a gift only to be immediately destroyed. So what's the problem?
Everything is easier to send holiday cards in the mail any way!
The suspension of saying he wants to be more environmentally aware and start doing something real. Something that is easy to do!
Did you know:
** Americans pull the basket for more than 25% during the holiday season action Thanks again for any other time of year. This extra waste amounts to 25 million tons of garbage.
** If every family in the United States re - only 2 feet of holiday ribbon, the 38,000 miles of ribbon saved could tie a bow around the entire planet.
** The 2.65 billion cards Christmas sold annually in the United States could fill a football field 10 stories high. If we all sent one card less, we would save 50,000 cubic meters of paper.
From now on holiday, anniversary, baby shower gifts for our family and will be delivered in a gift bag.
Advantages gift bags:
** Gift bags are easy to keep all storeI mine folded in a drawer.
** Use gift bags are easy to cut, do not not folding the tape.
** Gift bags last year, after wrapping yearreused did not look so hot.
Let us put Industry gift wrap business, create a holiday tradition.
** Give your gifts in gift bags.
Brag ** How many times a As has been reused. * Check the bottom of the bag datethe to print on the bag, the better.
** Give greater bag is a small example of how shabby amount that care about the environment.
