Brown paper packages tied up with strings...

Green Tip: Americans throw away 78.5 million tons of packaging annually, making up roughly one third of all solid waste in landfills. It may be what’s inside the package that counts, but what’s outside matters too. Look for alternatives like recycled-paper wrap or make your “wrap” a gift in itself by giving your packages in reusable shopping bags. Lessen your environmental impact and save trees this season!
