From our local paper. Great info to share

Since I don't have a link  to this article I want to recap the blurbs around the photo in the front page of the Home+Garden section.

It breaks down what is Eco friendly and what's not.

What's not the most Green idea:

• Metallic ribbon and wrapping paper is  non-recyclable and can clog recycling machinery. Reuse it next year.
• Bubble Wrap is non-recyclable because it's made of multiple plastics. Use it again or giving back to the shipping store.
• Flashing fiber optics can only be used again or thrown away.
• Packing peanuts: Send them back to the company. We don't need them!

Better Greener Ideas:

• Use a cloth ribbon. It can be ironed and used as a classy bow year after year.
• Old road maps are great wrapping paper. Who doesn't use a GPS now? They can be recycled.
• Those Christmas cards you thought you should keep from last year. Cut them up. Use them as gift tags.
