I run a Secret Santa Program for low income children in the area. A couple years ago We decided that all that wrapping paper on the gifts was such a waste. Since then we have gotten friends and family to try to open their gifts iin a manner that we can use it the following year. For the paper we have to buy we check to make sure it is all made from recycled paper.
