Maybe someone should start a recycling plant for red packets.
Less the money of course.
After all, since giving red packets is a chinese tradition,
and china has one of the largest populations on planet earth,
add in the number of chinese nationals living in other countries
add in the number of chinese migrants and their offsprings,
and if every chinese individual recycles at least five red packets,
that would be a lot of paper saved, don't you think?
Besides, what do you do with your red packets anyway?
