Compacting.
When it comes to recycling, I'm pretty good. I'm probably better than most of my neighbors and friends. I almost always wrap presents in previously used wrappings (either old paper, newspaper or bags of some kind), and I have definitely engaged in the art of gomiyage that's my own word... a hybrid of the Japanese word "gomi" = garbage and "omiyage" = souvenir gift), a.k.a., regifting. Shhhh!
But I know I could not do this. I'm way too much of a consumer. And I like my socks new.
