Hey everyone, I am Eric Rochow and this is Real World Green. Today more about how to greening, how to green, I can't do -- hey everyone, I am Eric Rochow and this is Real World Green. Today more on how to green your Christmas. This one I have been doing for years and my parents and my siblings and my friends are going to roll my eyes when I talk about this one but it's a great one. Instead of buying gift wrap paper, wrap your gifts in newspaper. I love this. This is just -- it's practical Eric but it's also very green as well. I have been doing it before it was cool to be green. So there you go. But anyway, you know what I mean here. Newspaper, wrap your gifts. You can use the comic section like this. You could use the travel section. I would avoid the financial section these days, but once you are done with this, when the people unwrap it you can take the newspaper and recycle it. So you are like double green. You are saving money. You are not having to buy the fancy paper. You are using a renewable, recyclable wrapping and I think it's great. It just says practical, it says you care, because you are making it look nicer. There are the peanuts, there is Dilbert, what's not to like? Alright, come to the green house. Tell me what you think, green-house.tv and make it a great day. I will see you.
