Here Sarah's groovy green tips for Friday, December 3rd:

• A friend of mine’s daughter bought a plain canvas bag for a buck and then decorated it with holiday decorations. She gave it to her mom and told her it’s her official Christmas shopping bag! It’s good sized to handle a load of gifts, that kid is smart!
• Remember the power strip for holiday decorations! That way you just have flip one switch to turn them all off!

It’s a Very Merry Middlebury Weekend, here at 92.1 WVTK. Tomorrow, in addition to all the fun activities happening in Downtown Middlebury, the Better Middlebury Partnership is also featuring free gift wrap service at 51 Main from 10am to 1pm. Volunteers will wrap any present bought in the town of Middlebury. You just have to show your receipt. That’s a great way to save your self some money this year, not buying all that wrapping paper! Now, if you insist on the personal touch and really want to do it yourself, here’s a couple of alternatives to buying one time use paper. You can repurpose newspapers, magazines, or old posters or maps to wrap up something special in a special way. Even better, turn bandanas or pillowcases into furoshiki (traditional Japanese wrapping cloths) or deliver gifts in a reusable bag or even a handmade purse, sort of a gift within a gift!. If every family wrapped just three gifts this way, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields. Wrapping it up on the Go Green Ride at Five on 92.1 WVTK!
