TIP for Tuesday June 9th, 2009

Got a package to send to dad for father’s day? Forget the expensive packaging materials and make your own. Packing peanuts are expensive and made from Styrofoam that is not recyclable, and neither are those padded envelopes. Try using cut up cereal boxes to make your own package and shredded magazines and paper to pack around the item. Then stick a note inside asking the recipient to recycle it or reuse it.
