Happy Earth Day! Since we all live here on this earth, we wish it love and happiness! ;-)
So many of us are learning more and more about recycling and reusing. As some of you have probably noticed, we have made a great effort in the last year or so to reduce our packaging as much as possible. We have begun to re-use boxes for shipping (so if you receive your order in a reused box, that is why).
Another thing is that we are starting to use a lot of recycled newspaper for packing paper. Even though it may not look as pretty as fancy packing paper, we feel a lot better about using it. It helps us keep our costs down, too, which allows us to not have to raise prices and, in some cases, we have been able to lower prices!
Of course, it is a fine line between recycling and reusing, and still giving you a product that looks nice and is secure in its packaging! Since we do all of our business by shipping things, we do have to be sure that it can get where it is going in one piece, so we do have to use some materials to make certain of that! :-)
Do you have a favorite recycling tip? We would love to hear it! Or is there some way you have thought of that we could improve our packaging and still be "earth friendly?" We would love to hear it!!!
Love, light, and peace,
Mambo Samantha Corfield
