Earth Update: Paper Bags

Generally, people use a lot more paper bags than they really need whether for packing a lunch on the go or anything else. A great way to be more eco-friendly with your paper without completely ditching paper bags forever is to reuse them!! Paper bags can be used many more than one time you know! They don't usually get ruined after one use so... reuse! Another way to be eco-friendly with your bags is to always RECYCLE them!! Reduce, reuse, recycle; it will make a world of a difference!

Have an earthy day!

Earth Update: Package Stuffing... in Action

Hey everyone! You may remember an earth update that I did in the past, "package stuffing" but here is a picture so you can really see it in action! I said in my older post that you should use ripped up paper to fill boxes that you are going to ship, as opposed to buying packing peanuts.  I recently participated in the Zoya nail polish exchange and got the chance to take some pictures of my earth friendly package stuffing.  Check it out:

There are my polishes sitting in a nest of shredded paper that I took out of my recycling bin. There are two egg cartons lined up side by side and each space where the egg should go, there is a polish! The box is also reused from a past online order.  Hope you get some ideas from this post!

Enjoy and have an "earthy" day!!

Earth Update: Recycling Part 1

Recycling. I bet everyone here has heard that before, its not a very creative way to save the world but its extremely important. I just had kind of a newsflash about it let's see... 5 minutes ago. I was typing a list up and I printed it out. Only one thing missing, the title. I had to put in the title and re-print the entire page. As I was reaching for the garbage, though, I though "Hey, I can just use the back of the sheet!" It wasn't for work or anything so why not!? After printing the page again, I noticed a spelling error, a real pain. I fixed it and reprinted, on a separate sheet of paper. After that I found a few more errors and had to go through the tedious process of fixing them, which was a waste of my time but also a great learning experience (that sounds cheesy!)

Just think, I bet that happens to countless amounts of people every day and probably most of them do NOT use the backs of their sheets or recycle. Think of how many trees are lost from nature because of our mistakes! You can't help making errors but when you do, use the backs of pages and recycle! It will make a world of a difference!!!
