Starting to buy your holiday presents and paraphernalia?  If you’re like me, you are.  The holidays can be very expensive and if your wallet could feel pain, this will be the time of year it would.  But the holidays can not only tax your wallet, but Mother Earth as well.  Tons of wrapping paper and gift bags are bought and then thrown away each year.

So, this year, let’s save some energy and cash by using the comic strip/funnies section of your newspapers instead of store bought gift wrap.  Or if you subscribe to magazines, start tearing out and saving some of the pages now.  The Earth will love you for it, and your gift recipients will appreciate your unique wrapping.

Happy wrapping!
