The holiday season offers little peace and goodwill for the world's forests. Our paper consumption swells by another 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year's, as thousands of cards are squeezed into shiny mail slots, and hundreds of presents are bedecked and beribboned.

Give a tree a break this yuletide by wrapping your winter bestowals in reusable fabric gift bags-you can easily whip up your own with some basic sewing know-how. Can't tell a bobbin from a feed dog? You can also purchase bags in assorted sizes, including ones made from organic cotton and recycled fabric, from stores such as Lagniappe Gift Wrap, Lucky Crow, and Wrapsacks.
