NO NEED TO USE REGULAR WRAPPING PAPER TO MAKE YOUR GIFTS LOOK ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR! USE WHAT YOU HAVE LAYING AROUND YOUR HOUSE. FOR INSTANCE USED FLOWER PAPER, A PAGE FROM A MAGAZINE OR EVEN AN OLD T-SHIRT. OR START A NEW TRADITION IN YOUR FAMILY BY MAKING OR BUYING SOME REUSABLE FABRIC GIFT BAGS.
Traditional gift wrapping paper is very bad for the environment. Just think about it - first trees needs to harvested in order to make paper. The the paper making process is a very toxic using lots of chemicals. The paper is then printed with colors and sometimes with gold and silver foil, which makes the paper un-recyclable. The paper is then shipped across the world to be distributed by trucks .Once the paper has been hauled from the store it is finally used for wrapping a gift, which requires tape and string, two more things that are not good for the environment.
Are we done yet? No! The paper is then torn off the package in a matter of seconds and has instantly been transformed into garbage - which in turn will need to be distributed by a truck to a landfill. Remember, most wrapping paper can not be recycled.
So why contribute to this circle? Instead use something you already have to wrap your gifts!
Did you know that Bag-alls first products were the reusable fabric gift bags?
Bag-alls founder Jennifer Jansch wanted to be an entrepreneur and do something for the environment at the same time. The idea of reuse made most sense to her - the idea is so simple - just use what is already here and things we already have. Everyone can do it, no matter rich or poor.
The fabric gift bags can be used hundreds, if not thousands, of times. They can be passed back and forth in the family, or if you want to use it to give something to a friend, the bag also comes as part of the gift. This way paper will never have to be used again.
