Every week we'll post another easy tip to help you be environmentally friendly.
Eco-Tip 38
Wrapping paper. It's hard to fold, it's heavy, it's overpriced and it's not very environmentally friendly. Sure, there is wrapping paper out there made of recycled paper, but it's hard to find and still pretty energy intensive for something that's going to get torn up and thrown away. Solution? Try wrapping your gifts in old newspaper. It won't look so pretty -- in fact it will probably look downright strange, but it serves its purposes: to hide whatever the gift is and to give the receiver something to viciously tear apart.
