How can we avoid contributing to the 8,000 tons of wrapping paper used in America each year? Try reusing things like paper bags, newspapers, scarves, and baskets to wrap with.
If you do use wrapping paper, opt for plain, glitter-free wrapping paper which can be recycled in your curbside bin.
Glittery bags, cellophane wrapping paper, and ribbons are not recyclable so save those to reuse again next year.
