One of the options in our green sins poll in the sidebar is “Don’t buy recycled office paper.” Only a few of you have chosen this option, but it can’t hurt to discuss how essential it is to consider your paper choices.
Some important facts:

Mummies and our current trash situation are a lot alike. If you’re working on teaching your younger kids about biodegradability, then the mummy slant works nicely.

Etsy is cool. It’s easy to get addicted to their handmade goods. Some of their green goods are questionable; such as recycled sweater coffee cup sleeves (um, why use paper cups anyway), but many of the items you’ll find are very cool. Like…
Green Handkerchief: Nice for a reusable handkerchief. 100% cotton and vintage to boot. […]
Sorry about the absent green audit yesterday - I tried to log on and WordPress said nope, not gonna work for you. I’ll post an extra audit post later today or one on Saturday to make up for it.
In any case, this week we’re discussing greening your school. One of the bigger issues schools have […]
Next time you need a dog chew toy for the family dog, help reduce Rover’s impact by choosing a RecycleBone from Planet Dog. Also available at Branch.
These toys are made of first-quality material remaining after making other doggie playthings. The material would otherwise be thrown away. RecycleBones and RecycleBalls are non-toxic, and they are […]
