Be Green - and Save Green - Shipping Packages

Use empty cereal boxes to send holiday gifts.



The dimensions are perfect for mailing clothing and books. You'll save the cost of purchasing shipping boxes, or paying extra postage costs for using the USPS "free" shipping boxes, AND you'll spare the earth another round of unrecycled packaging.



I don't recommend cereal boxes if you are shipping with UPS or FedEx - you should use something a little bit more substantial - but as a 7-year UPS employee, I can assure you that cereal boxes are not the strangest thing that people have used to ship with.
