How Green Are Your Packaging Supplies?
If you like to think you run an eco-friendly home or a ‘green’ business, make sure you don’t forget to take packaging supplies into account.
Green packing materials are those which can be reused , or are made from sustainable materials (like bamboo).
The idea is not to put more waste than necessary in a landfill and to use packing items more than once. For example, old newspapers, cardboard boxes and bubble wrap can all be saved and used again. There are also sustainable materials made exactly for this purpose; for instance, biodegradable plastic bags and bamboo packaging items.

Your home environment is crucial to your well-being. If its too cluttered, or not warm enough, or it springs a leak somewhere, it isn’t long before you start to feel the effects.
