Every year over 2.3 million pounds of wrapping paper ends up in landfills. The paper that does end up in recycling facilities is often thrown away because they’re almost impossible to recycle. Did you know that most wrapping paper is coated in plastic? Plus all these holiday papers have added ink, foils, and glitter which means it’s not even worth the energy to try and recycle it. There’s easier and more sustainable ways to wrap your gifts this season!

How to Make Your Neighbourhood More Eco-Friendly

If you follow Petit Architect on Instagram you might remember that in May we travelled to Pemberton to teach at some new to us schools. While there, we wanted to explore and check out the town a little and noticed a new neighbourhood being built. This would have been an awesome opportunity for an eco-friendly neighbourhood but to out disappointment it was the very opposite.
