+ Most wrapping paper is not recyclable as it contains plastics, coatings, and other types of additives. Even when it is, most of it ends up in the trash any how.


+ Around 30 million trees get cut down every year, in the USA alone, to make wrapping paper.


+ Billions of dollars are spent on gift-wrap and enough ribbon is used to circle around the whole planet and more.


+ Between thanksgiving and New Years, there is a 25% increase in the amount of trash produced.
