I was thinking of ways to be eco-friendly this holiday season and of course, wrapping gifts always comes up! Here are some alternatives and why I am not a fan of them:
-Scarf/Material Wrap: A lot of people don't want to wrap gifts in scarfs they don't have and if you don't do it right, it doesnt look very nice in all honesty.
-Brown Paper/Newspaper: I'm not sure about others, but I don't have brown paper lying around my place. Newspaper is probably my favorite runner up for wrapping gifts as I always have a ton lying around. Sadly, not a lot of people like the paper look.
So, what's another alternative no one is talking about?! FOIL!!! We ALL have foil in our places for baking! Plus, foil is made from aluminum, which can be recycled ENDLESSLY. Aluminum is considered a sustainable metal, which means it can be recycled again and again with no loss of material. Recycling aluminum saves 90% to 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum.
