This Christmas, you can teach your children about recycling, save a bunch of trees, AND have a fun project for your kids to do while you do a million other holiday-related tasks. Use the eco-smart way to wrap gifts and use either butcher paper, the back of other recycled wrapping paper, or even cut up brown paper bags and let your child decorate the paper with fun Christmas colors, stickers, and/or stamps. Let dry, and voila! Eco-smart wrapping paper that is fun and lets your child participate in the whole gift-wrapping process. The next best thing would be to buy wrapping paper made with sustainable materials such as recycled paper. If every American family wrapped just three gifts in 100% recycled wrap, we’d save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. If only 10,000 people wrap just one gift in 100% recycled paper, we’ll keep about 64 trees standing!
