Why Should We Use Eco-Friendly Gift Wraps?

There is a vast variety of different kinds of gift wraps available to wrap everything, from large holiday and birthday gifts to small friendship tokens. However if you think about it, while it is a good idea to give gifts in an attractive manner, commercially manufactured gift wraps are a serious waste of energy. If you look at the energy required to manufacture the paper, the packaging and inks used in addition to the energy consumed to transport the gift wraps from its manufacturing place to place of sale and consider the small lifespan of a gift wrapping paper, it will be difficult to drawn any conclusion other than the fact that it is a complete waste of energy.

Using eco-friendly gift wraps involves shaking off our preconceived idea of how a gift should look like. If you are willing to consider the fact that a wedding present needn't be covered with a traditional gift wrapping paper or that a child's birthday gift is no less appreciated if it isn't wrapped with paper that has cartoon characters, you will start to be more creative. Using a little creativity it can be surprising what can be used.
