The sustainable choice that is the most fun for me:
Reusable gift bags. Wrapping paper always seemed wasteful so for gifts my family has made colorful cloth bags to use. We add new ones from time to time but have many that have been in circulation for years.
What I’d like to see more of in the world:
Creative repurposing of items that today are frequently used once and discarded.
