Compostables For Wrapping Decor

During the Holiday season, 38,000 miles of ribbon is used — more than enough to wrap around the circumference of the earth. Save on materials by using compostables for wrapping decor instead, like dried flowers and festive pine cones!pic.twitter.com/5z0shBbDCw

I find a surprising amount of old drinks cans but rarely find the old ring pull tabs. Found this one yesterday on Bawdsey beach. Even rarer to find the ring with the tab still connected. #beachclean #2minutebeachcleanpic.twitter.com/KAL0lMqjoV
