Did you know that, according to Stanford’s website, Americans generate an additional 7 MILLION pounds of waste between Thanksgiving & New Year’s Day? That’s EVERY year. Surely, there must be a better way! So for a while now, I’ve been considering a Christmas free of wrapping paper.

Today, I’m excited to share my results! Using only re-used gift bags & tissue paper, I was able to wrap all of my gifts, and you can, too ↓

The beautiful book you see in this video is a powerful book Wise Secrets of Aloha by my friend Harry Jim. Definitely worth checking out →

ps. Did you know that in Japan, gifts are wrapped in scarves? This practice, called furoshiki, saves literal tons paper waste every year. The Koreans do something similar, called bojagi. Just imagine if Americans did that!
