furoshiki


A Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth used for wrapping gifts and to carry things. A Furoshiki can have other uses, bags, hats, scarfs, hair bands, and skirts.

I'm always looking for ways to reuse fabric. You can make your own Furoshiki. It's great to use for gift wrapping. It's beautiful and there is no waste. It can be reused over and over. See this website for more info http://www.furoshiki.com/. The Japanese Ministry of the Environment has information on how to use a Furoshiki at http://www.env.go.jp/en/focus/attach/060403-5.html.

Could you see the EPA doing this? But then again the U.S. refuses to sign the Kyoto Treaty and the U.S. is the biggest producers of carbon emissions.
