The holiday season is upon us, and with it the cards, gift boxes and wrapping paper. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that Americans will generate five million tons of household waste – twenty-five percent more than the usual four million. That’s equal to the weight of five million Volkswagen beetles, twenty-five-thousand 747 airplanes, or thirteen and a half Empire State Buildings.
In order to cut down on this waste, people can use alternatives to wrapping paper such as old newspaper, shopping bags, reusable boxes… even old clothes. The California Waste Management Board and Associated Content both provide useful alternatives here and here.

Hello Bradley, Yonina and Sam,
Thank you for your news, I miss you, and wish you still lived here in San Francisco some of the time.
Are you ever coming to visit and have you heard from Jo in China?
Things have been a bit challenging here.
