ECO-FRIENDLY IDEAS FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Green ideas for holiday season:

• Wrap gifts in creative wrapping paper substitutes, such as decorated brown paper grocery bags, children's art work, old maps, newspapers, Sunday comics, or holiday gift bags that can be reused.  Reusing gift bags is a great way to recycle over and over again.
• Shipping boxes can also be recycled.  The reuse of shipping boxes is fairly easy.  Simply cut open the box, flip it inside out, and then use non-toxic paint to decorate the outside of the box.
• If you use traditional wrapping, look for recycled-content wrapping paper.
• If you send holiday cards, buy recycled content cards and envelopes.
• Send electronic cards, they are fun and save trees and energy.
