Green Tip

the official office supply store for lori hill event productions.
Opt for
wrapping paper made with recycled content.
The
average American household increases their volume of trash by 25% during the
holidays. Much of this increase is due to the heavy use of greeting
cards and gift wrapping paper. Most store-bought gift wrapping paper
contains absolutely no recycled content. Check out these sources for
recycled gift wrap paper.

Gift Idea #3
Even though yesterday was
Small Business Saturday®, I want
to highlight another small business that I love to support. earth alley, in the
Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore, offers gift items that are, among other things, fair trade and/or created from
artisans who take discardable material and make it better by reusing it. Many of these artisans are local to Baltimore
(buying local is green, too!). Check out this eco gift item which is pictured above.
Tagua necklaces, key chains,
earrings and bracelets
$9.99 – $49.99 each
Gift items are not
available online, so come to Baltimore to see all the great gift
items earth alley has to offer.
If you are not local to earth alley support a small business by checking out Green America's National Green Pages for a local, green business near you.
