(BPT) - The season of giving is upon us. Whether you're brimming with ideas or struggling to find the perfect present, it's easy to forget the impact this time of the year has on the environment. With these five gifts made using recycled1 and sustainably sourced materials, this challenge becomes less frustrating and more festive. Oh what joy, knowing more trash has been diverted from landfills with your thoughtful holiday choices, preserving our world's most natural resources along the way.
