Gift Wraps: Season's Must-Haves
Eco-friendly gift wrap, wine bags, and tags
by Christie Matheson
It seems a little silly to cut down trees for the sake of manufacturing gift wrap that will be torn off in a matter of seconds. Luckily, there's a local company--aptly named Tree-Free--making snazzy gift bags from recycled paper and sustainable sources such as reclaimed sugarcane fiber and kenaf.
The company also offers eco-friendly holiday cards and wine bags (perfect for presenting your favorite organic vintages). In addition to saving trees, Tree-Free paper products require less energy to produce, and they reduce air and water pollution. So your thoughtfully wrapped gift gives something back to the planet, too.
