Instead of using the usual paper gift wrap which just creates more waste, take advantage of this week’s deal and give the wrapping that keeps on giving.
GREEN Gift Wrapping makes eco-friendly, stylish, pre-sewn fabric (washable) gift wrap that can be reused over and over, instead of being thrown out after only one use. GREEN Gift Wrapping also makes gift wrapping easier with sized-to-fit options that tie together quickly with pre-sewn ribbons—so you don’t need to do any cutting, measuring or taping. GREEN Gift Wrapping is especially fun and safe for children and seniors (no scissors, measuring, or cutting).
With more than 60 styles of GREEN Gift Wrapping and 40 percent off a 3-pack of gift wrap in three sizes, you’ll be prepared for any gift giving occasion on your calendar.

The green story
We chose GREEN Gift Wrapping as this week’s feature because they have created a product that helps reduce paper waste. Americans produce in excess of 243 million tons of trash each year, and paper accounts for the largest amount of municipal solid waste—approximately 28.2 percent (Environmental Protection Agency, 2009).
More facts about paper waste:
- In the U.S., an additional 5 million tons of waste is generated during the holidays. Four million tons of this is wrapping paper and shopping bags. (Clean Air Council)
- The EPA estimates that the average American uses approximately one 100-foot-tall Douglas fir tree in paper and wood products per year.
- Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, and 4,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity — enough energy to power the average American home for five months. (EPA, 2008)
