This year, I wanted to have a simple meal that brought together something of everyone who we remember on this day. Mojamix fit the bill. Here’s what we had:

A base of oats, hearty and nourishing, in memory of friend, Natasha, who supported me always

Apples for my grandmother, baker of pies

Strawberries for an old love (why? That’s private)

Almonds for an old neighbour who was kind, if a bit… nutty

Hemp seeds for my great–uncle Alex—well, I probably don’t need to tell you what HE was like

And Pumpkin seeds for mom, who carved with me on Halloween

Every

Year.

Peace to you as we enter the quiet of late fall and start to prepare for winter. It’s that time of year, so watch this space for great ideas for incorporating Mojamix into your holidays. We have great ideas for everyone on your list!

According to the EPA, however, wrapping paper  contributes heavily to landfill trash– a whopping 25 percent extra between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.  Tossing it in the fireplace isn’t exactly an earth friendly solution either—many printing inks and foils contain toxic chemicals that are released into the air (and your lungs, eek!) when burned.

So, what’s the answer?  Luckily, there are several green ways to wrap a gift.  Here’s a few:

1. Everyone is making the switch from plastic grocery bags to cloth, so why not make a pretty gift bag/shopping bag part of your gift?  A patterned cloth shopping bag can both hold a gift and be part of it!
2. Invest in some reusable gift bags, such as Lyziwraps.
3. Try using old maps as wrapping paper.  Reusable and educational!
4. Wrap your MojaMix in an earth friendly fabric wrap–either as part of the gift, or to save for next time.
5. Decorate the outside of the packaging with natural accents, such as pinecones, shells, or sprigs of berries. 
6. Consider biodegradable seed gift wrap.  Your recipient can plant the paper outside their front door and be greeted by gorgeous wildflower blooms (and be reminded of your generosity!) all summer long.
7. To make the most of your green gifting, pass on the tape—most conventional tapes have a petroleum base, and it interferes with recycling. To wrap MojaMix without tape, make tight creases in the paper and tie it securely in both directions with a wool yarn, or natural twine.
