Hey Green Junkie,

With the holidays upon us, it’s just about time to start wrapping up all those gifts that our loved ones eagerly anticipate.

According to a study from Stanford over 25 million tons of garbage are created during the holiday season and most of that ends up directly in landfills.

That is a ton of garbage!!! 

Thankfully, there are some enjoyable and easy ways to wrap gifts that are affordable, fun for the whole family, and also save some waste from filling up those landfills, all at the same time.

In this episode, we will touch on the following:

• Which wrapping paper can be recycled and which ones can’t
• What to grab around your home to use as wrapping paper
• How to reuse things you already have to make custom wrapping
• How to wrap your gifts in fabrics 
• Creative ways to wrap with old books or sheet music

Thanks for listening and being here.

Your green bestie,

Xoxo Stephanie

In this episode, I will touch on:

• How much waste is generated on a typical Halloween night
