Our GO GREEN CHALLENGE for the month of December is "wrap up your holiday the eco-friendly way!" For your holiday shopping, please consider buying items that are good for the planet and its inhabitants. You may not realize major companies have eco-friendly items unless you look. For example, to address the global water shortage, Levi’s Water-Less Jeans use less water to produce.
You can also purchase gifts from companies that do good for others. For example, Cotopaxi, in addition to using sustainable product design, puts 1% of its revenue toward addressing poverty and supporting community development. That is just one example, search for B Corp Certified companies to find more.
After you buy your gift, please consider the wrapping. Most wrapping paper can’t be recycled. This year, wrap your gifts in:
- Reusable bags
- Towels
- Paper grocery bags
- Newspaper
- Egg cartons
- Magazine pages
- Craft paper
- Reusable bags
- Glass jars
