Part of the joy of Christmas morning is watching a loved one open a gift you picked out just for them. And while it's what's inside the package that matters, it feels good to have gifts beautifully wrapped under your tree. But once our gifts are unwrapped, the wrapping paper goes into the trash. (Most wrapping papers can't be recycled because of all the dyes, laminates, and shiny additives.) The result is that an average of 4 million pounds (more than 333 million square feet) of wrapping paper are thrown away every year. You can help reduce that number while placing beautiful presents under your tree by wrapping gifts in fabric.
