Use newspaper and/or magazines instead of wrapping paper. Some wrapping paper can be recycled but due to many wrapping paper having dyes, and other non-paper additives a number of them cannot be recycled.
Reusing newspaper and/or magazines as wrapping paper saves you money and allows you to recycle your wrapping as opposed to tossing it in the trash!
Using the comics section for children's gift has always been popular with children!
Another alternative is reusing any gifts bags you receive from other occasions.
Now get wrapping!

Simple Idea No. 18 - Solar Powered Christmas Lights
It has been way too long since we posted a new simple idea and with the Christmas season upon us there are a number of ways you can change the world around you!
Solar Powered christmas lights are not only better for the environment because they do not draw from the power grid, they also save you money on your power bills!
Sure they are a little more expensive than regular lights but you will save the difference and more when that aforementioned bill comes in the mail (preferably email if you have paperless billing)!
