Merry Christmas! Here we are again in the season of gift giving. And with gift giving comes gift wrapping. We always love to make those presents look fancy, but the environment is not quite happy about that.

How, then, can we celebrate a more environmentally friendly holiday season? Find out in today's episode of Proper Science.

I referenced a previous episode (Are Plastics the Big Problem?) in the show. To listen to it, click here: http://bit.ly/plastic1ps

CORRECTION: I said in this episode that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the size of France, but it's really bigger. It is three times bigger than France, in fact. You'll hear that said in the Plastics episode above.
