Reduce, Reuse and ReSnackIt!

Ever notice how many plastic baggies you go through?

I was sent a sandwich bag like the one pictured above to try out.

I love it! I use it to place my pretzels in for work. I always used the same bag for the week, but now I’m saving more by using this reusable bag. I’m definitely buying more to use for my son for school.

With the holidays coming up, I am looking for wrapping paper that is made from recycled materials. I actually found quite a few.

One in particular, is a company called Earth Love’n Paper Products. Their Earth Love’n Gift Wrap, Gift Tags and cards are printed on 100% post-consumer waste, processed Chlorine free premium quality paper. Their products are truly…Paper with Purpose.

A little bit about their paper:

• Made with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper.

• Certified chlorine-free by the Chlorine Free Products Association.

• Paper is made with certified renewable energy by the Green-e organization.

Earth Love’n Paper will plant 1 tree for every 10 gift wrap packages/rolls sold through their partnership with Trees for the Future. Since 1988, they have helped thousands of communities in Central America, Africa and Asia improve their livelihoods and their environment through tree planting.

I received a sample of the Christmas Joy wrapping paper, pictured above. The picture does not do it justice. The pink and green colors are a great twist on the traditional Christmas colors. I’m going to love wrapping my little girl’s presents with this.

Earth Love’n Paper has kindly offered one Mommy Has to Work reader, the chance to win a Package of Christmas Joy wrapping paper (as shown above).

I love everything about recycling and reusing! I find it fascinating that we are able to turn used items into something else usable. I was looking around and found this stationary above and I thought how neat! Old maps turned into stationary! I love it!

The artist that came up with this particular idea is Chris Ryan, a publisher of outdoor recreation and guide books. He has a love for maps and that passion led him to an unusual side business. Walking on the campus of a local university, he saw a foot-high stack of out-of-date U.S. government topographic maps and charts being thrown out. “Something clicked,” Ryan said. He rescued them and found someone to transform them into envelopes, which he used to ship his books. He was surprised, though, when clients began requesting his unique envelopes as well as his publications. The demand kept growing and he soon began manufacturing stationery and envelopes in all sizes. Now he buys up to 15 tons of outdated maps at a time to meet his market’s demands.

I found these on eco-artware.com. The Recycled Map Stationery Sampler Pack contains twenty-five sheets of 8-1/2″ x 11″ stationery (may be used in both printers and copy machines) and 85 envelopes in assorted sizes. Each sampler consists of products from several different maps and the colors, while varied, are compatible. No two sets are exactly alike. Write on the plain side of the stationery and affix a plain mailing label for addresses on the envelope, if the map is too dark to write on.

Eco-Artware.com is a web-based gallery of unique, well-made and environmentally friendly gifts. Their natural and recycled products are eco-friendly and sustainable. They’re unique works of art for people who care about our planet.

I haven’t seen the stationery in person, but I thought my readers would love to win a set. I love all kinds of stationery. I collect quite a bit, although I don’t seem to use it as much as I should.:) (If anyone wants to know what to buy me for Christmas or my birthday, this would be great!)
