Change the way you think about the environment

Shoppers should pay extra when they get gifts wrapped. This money should be donated to a green group.

Wrapping paper, ribbons and labour charges have to be paid for.

But it would be better if they donated the extra cash to a worthy cause, such as an environmental education programme.

Such a move would enhance the reputation of shops as well as shoppers.

The extra fee would also discourage shoppers from using the wrapping service offered by shops and help to protect the environment.
