Earth-Friendly Gift Wrapping

I love wrapping gifts. I love the way they look under the tree. I love the mystery of brightly colored packages. At the same time, I'm uncomfortable with tossing bags of wrapping paper debris into the trash every Boxing Day. So I'm looking to reconcile my love of gift wrap with my concern for the planet.

re-nest has some great ideas for going green this holiday season. These include:

• reusable gift bags
• recycled aluminum
• outdated/surplus maps
• using a gift as a wrap (scarves, et c.)
• brown paper bags
• newspaper/funnies
• green package padding
• re-purposed gift bags
• eco gift paper

Head on over for great tips and resources. And happy wrapping!
