Kathryn, This was the first year I tried newspaper for wrapping at Christmas–it was so pretty! I accented it with old VHS tape for ribbon (an idea I found online) and I couldn’t believe how great they looked. I thought, eh, they’ll just be so-so but were quite nice. Good luck with your wrapping idea!

@ Joy – Thanks! I would’ve thought of newspaper wrapping on my own but I never would’ve thought of VHS ribbon! -Kathryn

I enjoyed your post. I've been thinking about ways to reduce my own waste in the office and have started re-printing the back side of documents already printed on for my first drafts. I've started collecting this paper from family too--then recycling afterwards.

I just did a quick google search on wattage used for computers and it seems to be within 100-300 watts. However, by switching to standby or sleep mode that number drops to under 10. A quick and painless way to save some energy.

@ Joy; Thanks for the additional tips. I used to be really good about printing on the second side of the paper and then got out of the habit for some reason (although I still use the reverse side of paper for note-taking). I'm working now on starting to save up all of the used paper to make my own paper for use in gift wrapping and making my own cards and whatnot. -Kathryn

Computers use about as much electricity as one or two light bulbs, nothing too substantial.

@ Anaolgy; True – but if we all turned off two of our light bulbs every single day, wouldn’t that make some difference? -kathryn

Thought-provoking post. I’m definitely guilty of some of these, but will give more thought to my footprint in these areas. First step? Keeping up with my new habit of turning off all electronics overnight. Small steps, right?

@ Quiet Rebel Writer – Thanks! It’s definitely the small steps that get us moving in the right direction! -Kathryn
