GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK (GTW)

GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK:  Use used/recycled/old magazines as wrapping paper!


One of my biggest pet peeves is buying and using wrapping paper.  Yes it looks beautiful but wrapping paper is used for about ten seconds and then is tossed in the garage.  To me, it is just a waste of paper and a way of producing more waste during the holiday season.  

A more unique and green way to wrap this years gifts is by using sheets from old magazines/newspapers to wrap your gifts.  You can stay with the theme of the holidays by selecting pages/articles that are about the holidays or have holiday colors.  While you are repurposing magazines/newspapers/shopping bags, you are saving money!!! It's a win-win situation for everyone!!!





Looks just as beautiful if not better than wrapping paper!

Happy Wrapping!

LIVE WELL.  LIVE PURE.
