If you've gotten an order from The Body Shop within the last 6 months or so, you've proabably noticed something different about the packing material. After much deliberation about which is more environmentally sound, we've decided that brown paper is better than plastic air filled bubbles.
This is great since you can recycle the brown paper with your newspaper and with the bubbles all you can really do is throw them away.
I've been feeling bad about just recycling all this brown paper, I mean doesn't it deserve more from this karmic cycle than to be just packing material? So, I emailed Teddy's school and asked if they could use it, and of course, they are thrilled to have it. Yay! From packing material to precious works of art! How cool is that?

Totally Cool!
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. (in that order) is a good mantra for keeping the landfills from filling.
Kudos to The Body Shop for transitioning to a more sustainable packing material. And extra-Kudis to you for finding it new life as Kid Crafts. :)
