'Tis the season for eco-friendly gift wrapping
Imperial College Environmental society is hosting a sustainable gift-wrapping stall as part of the Sustainable Festive Fair on Thursday, 19 November.
With the holiday season quickly approaching, the stall aims to show people how to wrap presents without having to buy new wrapping paper that will likely accumulate, remain unused, or be thrown away.
Together with showing eco-friendly alternatives like old newspapers or scarves and cloths, they will be giving tutorials on furoshiki style wrapping, traditional Japanese square cloths. Decorating tips, like bow-making or adding dried flowers, will also be shared.
The society will also encourage student and staff to gift the non-perishable when possible, prioritising gifts that won’t go to waste like houseplants, gift cards, or experiences.
