I posted this last year and it still stands.
I'm NOT a big fan of the amount of waste that is created during the holidays. Especially cards that are not ones that I wouldn't consider keeping. Some people mail me cards and it's wonderful that they thought of me but I can't help thinking what a waste it is to throw it out so I end up hording cards.
But then I think about all the people this year throwing away cards, wrap and tissue.
USE BAGS. They can be reused for other occasions if they don't have Santa on the front.
REUSE TISSUE It's going to be crumpled in the bag anyway.
RECYCLE paper, wrap, cards, envelopes, boxes.
I know, I know: I'll shut up now. Merry Christmas.
