Christmas and holiday season green tips

Every year I stress over holiday gift wrap. Usually I end up running short on time and cave into tradition—buying some and vowing that next year I am going to give up it up for good. After all, how ethical can it be to use toxic materials that can't even be used to fuel the fire? I decided to try and find out by asking the question "How much wrapping paper is wasted each year?" The answer I received according to the Clean Air Council says the United States alone wastes 4 million tons worth of shopping bags and wrapping paper contributing to the extra 5 million tons of extra waste that the U.S. throws away during the holiday seasonThis year I'm seriously trying to change. I'll see what kind of response I get from the recipients. I suspect they really won't care as long as the goods under the paper live up to their expectations.Don't cave into tradition for the holidays, hold the line on staying green.
