Where does all that holiday wrap, cardboard, and cards end up after December 25?
Most Christmas packaging ends up in landfills, decomposing and producing greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide. Landfills are the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States, and methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
So, instead of sending these materials to the trash, we have a post-Christmas wrap challenge for you. It’s simple – reuse your leftover wrap, ribbons, strips, and stuff to create a mini artwork. Your creation will become a part of our Climate Collaborative Collage, a permanent piece of the Real People, Real Climate, Real Changes traveling exhibit currently at S.C.R.A.P. Gallery, but headed to Alaska next.
Any size work is accepted as long as it fits in an envelope. Please don’t wait; send or drop it off to us by the deadline of January 8, 2025. Every piece counts!
