Earth Day

Earth day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. Something many handmade sellers hold close to their hearts, including myself.

Back in November I switched to using reused and recycled materials only for my shipping boxes, I wrote a blog post about it here and ordered a couple of stamps from terbearco to mark my packages with. They look so great too.

Today and tomorrow terbearco is having a giveaway, you can win your very own "make everyday Earth Day" stamp simply by leaving a comment here telling me what you do to protect our plannet, or how you feel about Earth Day, or anything else... The winner will be chosen at random and announced on Friday the 24th.

terbearco is also offering 10% off of any of her recycle themed stamps with the code HAPPY EARTH DAY in message to seller thru 4/23

Recycle

I have decided to start using the material I would normally take to the recycling bins as shipping boxes for my little mice. Not only does this mean I am doing something for the environment it also reduces the large amount of cardboard and other packing stuffs I have in the house. Now I have tailor made boxes for my mice that are the right size and strengh whist still keeping the overall weight for shipping one mouse just under 100g. (Over 100g and I have to pay more to ship my parcels.)

I designed this stamp to go on my newly recycled packages, I ordered it from terbearco and it should be arriving in the next few weeks. If you want to do the same as me and use my stamp design you are more than welcome to! I encourage anyone to take it, reuse it and recycle. Every little bit helps us change for the better.
