Green Challenge: Paperless Christmas



During the holiday season, Americans will generate an additional four million tons of waste than average just from wrapping paper and shopping bags. With lovely paper that comes in all colors and patterns and with a healthy dousing of sparkles, all those gifts under the tree can make a beautiful sight on Christmas morning. But after all the paper is ripped off and you’re struggling to stuff it all into a large trash bag, it begs the question; is it necessary?
Sacrificing wrapping paper at Christmas doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the beauty of Christmas morning. There are a few alternatives to typical wrapping that won’t leave you feeling as dirty as a climate denier after everything has been opened.

Recycling Projects: Apple Gift Boxes

Plastic Bottle Apple Gift Boxes

Supplies
  • Two plastic bottles of the same size
  • Scissors
  • Green, yellow, or red acrylic paint and paintbrush
  • Brown pipe cleaners
  • Green tissue paper or paper rope

    This simple, adorable little project was borrowed from http://krokotak.com/2013/03/plastic-bottle-apples/ and the end result can become a gift, a house decoration, or a usable container. All of the pictures in this post came from the link above.
