The exchange of gifts is a familiar practice at Christmas, and this is a tremendous place to initiate our green Christmas habits. The gift wrapping paper sold in stores is more often than not recyclable. Most of it is immediately thrown away to end up in landfills. This makes gift wrapping with store-bought paper expensive and very unfriendly to the planet – not what we want for a green Christmas.
To a large extent the better option, and one that close relatives will be pleased about, is to use your children’s artwork to wrap gifts. You could also use your children’s comic books or the comic sections of newspapers as a bright and colorful alternative, thereby recycling old paper. You can explain to the recipient of the gift in a positive way why you are doing this and perhaps make them feel guilty for not having a green Christmas as well.
It has been calculated by the Sierra Club, America’s oldest and biggest environmental organization, that if every family in the country gift wrapped just three gifts by recycling existing paper they already have, the paper saved would be enough to cover 45,000 football fields. Now, that’s a green holiday Green Christmas and a whole lot of trees saved too!
