Hi Betty,
What do you do with gift wrap after it's used?
Thanks

Thanks for the question!  I have been debating phasing out traditional gift wrapping paper but I still have some from before my garbage epiphany, so I want to use that up.  I have made an effort to buy wrapping paper that is made from recycled paper and/or wrapping paper that is recyclable itself for the last few years.   The thing about recycling it is that I don't think crumpled up, ripped up, taped up paper recycles well.  What we started doing with the last birthday, is taking that paper and adding it to our burn bucket.  It makes the most sense to me to just burn it.  

Thanks,
Betty

Do you have a question, comment, or suggestion?

I'd love to hear from you!
