Eco-Friendly Christmas

About 5 million tons of gift wrap and decoration is used and then turned into trash by the US alone, each year. Over two billion cards are sent and enough ribbon is used to tie a bow around the earth. In Norway, we manage to generate about 2,700 tons of gift wrap annually. 

So let’s opt out of that glossy, non-recyclable stuff and into something more sustainable without all the waste, exploitation and environmental impact. Here's some inspiration for sustainable gift wrapping using recyclable paper, hemp ribbon, organic cotton cord and decoration found in nature.
