«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 358 of 358Fantastic! What a great idea - I love that we get to make a bag too and pass it on! This Christmas I am cutting down on food miles by only buying local food or eating veg grown on my allotment, recycling last years Christmas cards as tags, hand making as many pressies as possible and wrapping pressies in cloth that can be reused.
bellsjo(at)msn(dot)com
As christmas-presents I will make small gift-baskets from fused plastic bags.
What an amazing amount of bags you are going to give away! And what a great green project you run!
I am going green by making a giant bag for Santa to put all of my son's toys in instead of wrapping them individually. Thanks for thinking of 100 of us!

This year I'm making all our gifts. Most of them are knit, but some are sewn. I'm not sure that it is super green, but I do know that most of my yarn is spun here in the US so it hasn't travels as far as it could have.

Thanks for the great giveaway and have a Merry Christmas!

The biggest green movement I am making this Christmas is making gifts from items I have instead of purchasing items.
I've also switched to the old-school looking LED lights for my tree.
I love the philosophy behind your blog and bags!

Thanks!

Hey Wonderful Green Bag Lady
This Christmas I am inspired to go green by some wonderful blogs I have read this year:
I am making crocheted bird decorations instead of buying new for my new home.
Thanks so much I would love to be included in your giveaway
julesachall(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
Thank you for the opporunity to win. Happy holidays. I reuse all the bows, tags and wraps. I do not purchase any new trimmings. I have done this for years now.

Starting last Christmas we wrap our family gifts in cloth bags. We also try to buy good quality things that will last.
seemommysew @gmailDOTcom
This year I will take the bus and train (instead of the car) to see my parents for Christmas.
I'm also thinking about wrapping my gifts in shoeboxes slipped inside fabric bags that could be used for shoes or laundry or whatever when you pack a suitcase or bigger bag for an overnight trip.
What a fantastic giveaway you're doing here! I hope you get a ton of responses! :)

I have a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old, and I am going green this Christmas by having a get together with other friends who have kids to do a toy swap instead of buying new stuff. My kids are young enough not to care that they're not new!

What an incredible giveaway. I love it! We are being more green this Christmas by giving gifts we've made out of items we already had. Repurposing! This is our second year to do it and it went over really well last year!
elizamarie(at)gmail(dot)com
What a great giveaway!
We're going green this holiday by staying home, and making all our gifts. No plastic junk for my daughter!
i'm using up all my christmas paper from years past and NOT buying new stuff unless I run out. i'm also using catalogs to make bows!
OMG!!! 100 winners? I so want to be one of the lucky winners!!!
this xmas, it will be difficult to go greener than I already do everyday. We'll have no bought at the store presents, only handmade or second hand gifts.
we will not have a real xmas tree, or paper wrapings, and i'll reuse it if someone gives me a present wraped in paper.
also, we never waste food, so all the leftovers will be eaten. and we always separate the garbage into paper, glass and plastic, so it goes to the recycling center.
this is what i always do and tell others to do for like almost 20 years... :) (and i'm just 27 heheh)

Thank You!
fsarah09 at gmail dot com
My daughter has turned me into such a tree hugger that I can not go anywhere without mapping out a gas plan. So we made sure that we went to only one place for christmas shopping. She said wasting gas is wasting energy and that was bad for mama earth. So we went to the mall and found every persons gift. It was actually a really great idea. Before I would drive around and not find anything. She opened my eyes, love that about her. So I saved gas and put out less waste. That is greening christmas to me.
Keep up your amazing work!
ritabarriga(at)yahoo(dot)com
You are simply amazing!
This Christmas we will only use wrapping paper for 'santa' gifts, everything else will be wrapped in reusable bags. And I'm making gifts for almost everyone on my list this year instead of buying (which is fun, and exhilarating, but woah the pressure!)
Thanks!
xerxia(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks for doing so much to help others go green! This Christmas I am using reusable wrappings whenever possible and I am trying to focus on giving experience type gifts rather than physical items that include excess packaging and require gift wrap.

No wrapping paper for us this year (or any other year, from now on!), we're using fabric bags or just plain fabric to wrap gifts. I just have to make sure I get the fabric back from my non-sewing friends and relatives. I don't think they'll mind...
Sorry, hit enter before finishing... greetingarts(at)yahoo(dot)com

Yay for green. ashleymhc at gmail dot com
We have cut down on the number of gifts we buy, and thus the number of packages we wrap and mail (all of my relatives live far away). Only mailing one small package this year instead of five as in years past. We buy used where we can, and where it is appropriate (daughter's doll house, for instance), and I make as many gifts as I can. We haven't done any mall shopping this year!
hmoe(at)moedaddy(dot)com
wow! these are awesome! I use as much recycled materials as I can in my crafting.
Not sure this is terribly original, but this year I'm making all my gifts myself. I'm also trying to use as much thrifted material as I can... though it's not always possible!
Happy giveaway day... and happy green Christmas!
I'll be going green by continuing to make reusable fabric gift bags to give gifts to family. I also use fabric shopping bags to go grocery shopping. Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi there,
GREAT giveaway -- and I totally love your attitude! :)
Living in Germany, I haven't used plastic bags for shopping for ages -- I always bring my own ones.
As for going green on Christmas, I don't have any Christmas lights outside and the Christmas tree is only lit when someone is actually in the living room.
Happy Holidays,
Birgit

We go green every christmas :) There's an organisation close to where my parent live and where we celebrate christmas every year that collect the trees and plants them. IT really cool to go to their forest for a walk and being able to tell you've been helping them out.
I myself don't have a tree because I'm just not home enough to fully appreciate it.
I am going green this Christmas by reusing gift bags and of course using reusable bags when doing my Christmas shopping.

This Christmas I'm going green by making all my Christmas presents. Most of them are made from thrifted materials, especially thrifted bedsheets! Thanks so much for the chance at your very generous giveaway!

What a sweet and wonderfully green giveaway!
This holiday season, I am going green by making all of my gifts. I use thrifted vintage fabrics and findings to keep with the green theme. I will be wrapping my gifts in tea-stained newspaper and yarn scraps, and making bows out of old magazines.

One thing I'm doing for christmas that is green is that instead of giving gifts without any meaning me and my family are donating to a local charity instead. (World vision micro).
Another green thing I'm doing is trying to say no thank you to bags when we buy stuff. I mean do you really need 5 small bags from stores? no way!
oh and my favorite little green christmas thing. a couple years ago my brother gave us a giant santa sack from target. we use that to hold my daughters main santa presents. so less wrapping paper because the giant bag is the wrapping!
I would love to receive one of your bags. I would alos love to give one to a friend.

I also have plans to make fabric napkins for my MIL for Christmas dinner.. just have to finish all the other gifts.

I'm going green by not having a tree. As much as I love the smell of pine....but then I can always drive up the nearby mountain and smell pine in the mountain forest!
Whoops .. I forgot... this is Tina of the pine forest comment.

Fabulous! Thanks for helping to take care of our Earth. I am making reusable fabric gift bags this year and doing away with wrapping paper altogether. I've made a bunch already.
What a great thing you are doing. I hate those plastic bags!
This year we traded out our old lights for LED lights to save a little energy. I am also making fabric bags for gift bags instead of paper.
Thanks for the great things you are doing!

We've reused bows, bags, and boxes for many, many years now and will continue to do so. It's amazing how much less you have to buy for wrapping when you've saved it for so long...lol.
Hi! I don't celebrate Christmas, and the gifts I do give are not bought at the mall. I will be making dog biscuits for the dog lovers in my family. I'm also reading 4 Season Harvest by Eliot Coleman, and growing winter greens in some aluminum pans.

I am going green by making gifts out of thrifted recycled fabrics. My boys and I also make wrapping paper by stamping used paper bags.
I'm so happy to have discovered this blog - it's very inspiring and I thank you for that. This Christmas, we're using handmade drawstring gift bags instead of storebought or wrapping paper. They're a cinch to make and so much more personal and festive! Thanks for participating in the giveaway. fowlsinglefile at yahoo dot com
This Christmas, almost all of the presents I am giving are handmade by me (a few by others, presents I've gotten from Hyenacart or Etsy), and many are made out of recycled bits from my stash.
Thanks for the chance to win! :)
alainn.aingeal(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks for having an eco-friendly giveaway! :) Always nice to see. For the last decade or so, I have not bought commercial wrapping paper, instead option for using brown paper shopping bags, which we then recycle. We don't use Christmas lights, and we don't buy a tree. We try very hard to make changes in our everyday lives away from disposable products - every little bit counts!
I'm making a lot of my gifts, including the wrapping paper, from things we already have around the house and that would other wise be recycled. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
jenrhodges(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm going green this Christmas by NOT decorating! I save time, money, electricity and attitude. We have an evergreen at the corner of the house and we have it strung with fairy lights (white and colored). It stays off until Dec. and then with an outdoor extension cord we plug it into the outdoor outlet. I also handmake any exchange gifts
my green-ness for this holiday season is recycling all the plastic bags in the house to make crocheted gift bags/totes. cute and funky!

This year we are going green by skipping the Christmas Tree. One more tree can stay planted because of us. There are lots of places to hang ornaments. Thanks for the chance to win.
Whew...I made it in time (barely)!! I LOVE using vintage linens quilts and other handmade items. This year I made both a full size vintage linen quilt and a mini quilt for my niece and nephew. I also used some vintage linens to make some bean bag toys for my neice. I made a TON of handmade items this year in an effort to be more green! What a cool idea for a giveaway!! Thanks so much!
Wow! Thanks for the opportunity! I am a college student away from home and paper bags always rip on the bus. This will definitely come in handy! I'll save the other for my best friend who is also an away from home student. Thanks for the chance! I hope I am a winner!
This year instead of purchasing gifts, I will make majority of them.
Justine
jwong626[at]gmail[dot]com
I hope I make this! This is really creative! I was definitely share this idea with my friends. I am going to use newspaper comics as wrapping paper this year. I've been collecting for the past three months!

I am not buying Christmas presents this year. Instead, I am donating to Gospel for Asia and Hand of Hope so that people who are in real need of food and shelter will receive it.

I'm not traveling! I'm actually making fewer gifts this year than last, but I'm trying to buy locally wherever possible.
This year we are going green by reusing magazines and newspapers for our wrapping, led lights and crafting with things we already have. Thanks for offering the giveaway!

Great idea! I can always use an extra one and give the other to my sister. This year I am not buying Christmas presents.

Instead of wrapping paper I want to use outdated state road maps for wrap. I've also found a few gifts secondhand. Thanks for the giveaway!
