Do you know that in the US， millions of Christmas gifts are given each year？ Unfortunately， up to one−third of those gifts remain unused or are thrown away. Reducing this waste would help protect the environment. An effective way to do this would be to change people’s attitudes towards regifting.
So， what is regifting？ Regifting is when the receiver of a gift passes that gift on to another person. In many places， like Iran， Italy， and Papua New Guinea， regifting is a commonly accepted practice. However， in the US， it is a bit more complicated.
In a survey of Americans， 76 percent said they thought regifting was all right， but in reality， many are reluctant to regift. Another study showed that it was the person doing the regifting who felt bad about it， while most of the original gift givers thought the regifters were free to do what they wanted with their gifts. Even though 90 percent of the final gift receivers were content with their gifts， it seems clear that regifters remain overly concerned.
How can we change the way regifters feel？ In an experiment， one group was informed about a special day called National Regifting Day， while another was not. This information made the first group feel regifting was OK， and they regifted 3 times more than the other group. Events like this would encourage positive attitudes towards regifting.
Another idea would be to promote systems such as online gift exchanges that enable people to give away or exchange gifts they don’t need. The ease of finding people who want these gifts would make regifting so simple that people would hardly ever throw away unwanted gifts.

Joe： It’s interesting that many Americans think regifting is OK， but still hesitate to do it. Here’s a graph I found from a related study done in New Jersey.
May： Oh， it shows the reasons why people in New Jersey regift. Do you think most of them regift to family and friends？
Joe： Yes， they do. According to the research， it’s because they know what gifts their loved ones would prefer.
