    If you’re looking for tips on how you can conserve trees, here is a list of 20 easy things you can do at home, in the office or on the go. 1) Print less. Store information on your computer or phone. Invest in a portable hard drive to back-up your important files at home. 2) Opt for paperless billing. Request your bills and correspondence by email instead. 3) When buying wood products, look for FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified. FSC is a third-party council that sets standards for forest products that have been sourced in an environmentally-friendly, socially responsible and economically viable manner. 4) Purchase paper products that use alternative sources in replace of tree pulp such as bamboo which is a sustainable resource. Bamboo and sugarcane are grasses not hardwoods and grow very quickly (reaching maturity in up to 5 years), requiring very little light and water. 5) Always print

    Who doesn’t love a good New Year’s party? But like most parties, it can come with a lot of waste. As we end one year and begin another why not plan a party eco-style! Here are some eco-friendly party tips, decorating advice and food and drink ideas that will help you throw the best green party of the year! 1)      Avoid cheap throw-away decorations and look for re-usable decorations or ones that can be recycled. Candlelight and foliage go a long way to create a nice atmosphere. Remember not all candles are created equally. Look for one made of natural wax and essential oils. We like Canadian made Honey Candles made from natural beeswax. 2)      Use your tableware, cutlery and glasses if possible. If you don’t have enough consider a party rental service or opt for bamboo plates, cutlery and compostable cups that have less of an impact than paper

    Why Sugarcane and Bamboo are a Sustainable Alternative to Paper Made from Trees

    Did you know that globally humans cut down around 900,000 trees every daily for paper products, including 27,000 trees for toilet paper alone? That’s a lot of trees! Sugarcane and bamboo are a sustainable alternative to paper made from trees. Here’s why: Sugarcane and bamboo are grasses not hardwoods. They are some of the fastest growing in the world. Unlike trees, which can take up to 30 years to grow back and mature, sugarcane and bamboo grow back as quickly as 3-4 months and can be re-harvested in 1-2 years without replanting. Using products made from bamboo and sugarcane reduce over-logging and deforestation. Bamboo can grow in environments with depleted soil and little water and actually returns nutrients to the soil, which improves degraded areas. Bamboo doesn’t require fertilizers, insecticides or pesticides to grow. Sugarcane & Bamboo are more eco-friendly than recycled paper. Sugarcane bagasse (the dry fibrous residue that remains
