Sustainable ideas for Christmas gifts, decoration, and food

Update: 2023-12-13

Description

As people look for eco-friendly solutions to non-recyclable wrapping paper, furoshiki, the Japanese art of wrapping packages in cloth, is becoming more widely adopted.

Gifts for loved ones don’t have to be expensive or brand new. Consider buying from your local thrift store, upcycle an imperfect and pre-loved item, or make something by hand.

And to further cut down on holiday waste, KCRW offers tips for sustainable decorations and the holiday dinner menu.
