Eco Friendly Notebooks

It is good that more an d more people and companies are being aware of our ecological crisis and I was delighted to know that paper manufacturing companies are now using recycled paper as a help to lessen our waste products.

Here is an example of those notebooks, though they are still using plastic to cover it up at least they used recycled paper and turned it into a nice notebook. I saw this at National Bookstore, I think these kind of notebooks are ideally for gift giving because of the packaging. I I would receive something like this I would definitely appreciate it. The pages of the notebooks are blank so you can do anything you like with it, a diary, a sketch pad or even an addition to your collection if you have any.

What Is Eco Friendly?

We were at Ever Gotesco for pillow block when we went inside National Bookstore and saw a display of “eco friendly” products. I was shocked to see that the eco friendly products on display were wrapped in plastics! How can they say that the product is eco friendly when in fact it was wrapped in a plastic that is not even reusable? Oh hello there capitalism.

Green Living Ideas

When people started talking about green living, most do not have an idea what it is mean. For some, it is simply reducing the use of plastic materials. Green living means lessening your carbon foot print. This is the measure of the impact of what we do in our lives to the environment. This does not only includes the gas emitted when we use our appliances or our vehicles. This also includes the gas emitted for the manufacturing of the times and products that we usually bought.

When you say green living, you will have to lessen the use of appliances that omits harmful gas. Not only that, you will also have to start looking for products that are manufactured the green way. So what does it mean when you see products that is labelled as eco friendly, items such as cortech sport tail bag? It only means that the production of this items/ products omits less gas than the production of ordinary items. If you have heard of green pots or eco friendly casseroles, those are cooking materials manufactured with less gas emission.

So if you really want to start green living, use items that are manufactured the green way. Well, I am not telling that you ditch your old casseroles or household items, but you know if you are planning to buy new items, please choose wisely.
