I can only guess that the amount of material headed for landfills goes up over the holiday season. I recycle and I hope everyone else does too,especially over the coming weeks. My question is...are people really thinking green when buying Christmas gifts? I know there are lots of news stories floating around with eco-friendly gift ideas, but are people taking them seriously? I think I'm going to put at least some of my gifts in canvas grocery bags (instead of wrapping paper) that the recipient can reuse. I'd also love to know other ways people are making their holidays more environmentally friendly. Got any ideas?????

Hi Natalie,

The majority of my gifts are money-based, so that doesn't need wrapping. ;)

As far as other items, I'm shipping some things I bought in Greece to folks around the country, and outside of packing and protection, won't do any additional wrapping.

Studley,
Money is a good one. Doesn't cause a lot of waste, doesn't go out of style and doesn't expire or mold...and most people probably prefer it. What a novel idea! :-)

Jewelry would be another good idea....it's already in a nice box, no wrapping needed. Just open and watch her smile. Or swoon. Or both. :)

Hello Everyone. I have the honor of co-anchoring the weekend news with Richard Ray and I report three days a week. I truly love what I do and I think this is a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other better. A couple of factoids about me...Dancing is a passion of mine, right next to eating good food, traveling and spending time with my family.
