One third of what ends up in landfills is packaging. This holiday season minimize the amount of packaging that you bring into your life. One CRESBI customer even bought CRESBI crates to fill with holiday goodies for all of her friends and family members, that's a truly reusable packaging idea! Here’s others:

-  Save the front side of holiday cards for use as gift tags
-  For simple packaging cut strips of clean, reusable bags to tie around the gift in a bow
-  Buy things in bulk & split them into repurposed gift bags 
-  Newspapers, paperbags, and old maps can double as gift wrap
-  Purchase or make some reusable holiday-themed cloth bags with drawstrings
-  Save the paper wrapping you do get and use it for packing material when shipping gifts throughout year.
