DID YOU KNOW according to research from Hallmark, Americans spend approximately $3.2 billion a year on wrapping paper..... $3.2 BILLION on something that mostly gets ripped + discarded after 3 seconds?!!
YIKES!!! Can you IMAGINE how much of an impact that could have on the world if we ALL didn't buy wrapping paper for only 1 year?
That's 1 billion people that could have access to clean water if we pooled our money for @oxfamamerica to fund over 1 million water wells; it could provide over 1 million YEARS of education via @onegirlorg or 64 million GOATS!! Sounds way more important than 1 second of wrapping paper!
