Hi there, I'm Charlotte, and I created Read Wrap Recycle in response to the huge number of trees that are cut down each year solely to make wrapping paper. Last year as a family we sent old newspaper up the chimney to Santa so he could use them to wrap our presents, my daughters were delighted, but it did require careful editing on part as not all content is appropriate. From there 'The Nothern Star' was born, a festive edition of my newspaper wrap, an eco conscious solution to wasteful gift wrap.
