Happy Earth Day

so, forgive me for not talking product today, but i've been thinking about earth day a lot lately. it seems just in the past year it has become so obvious to me that each of us must make choices to help the earth, each other, and future generations salvage what's left of the amazing natural resources in our country and on our planet.
we are so lucky, and i think we sometimes get complacent about it. i heard just this week that polar bears are becoming threatened due to the lack of available habitat, just another hazard of the melting of our glaciers. i cannot imagine our planet without an amazing creature like this. these are the animals of folklore and fairytales. there is nothing else on our planet quite like this animal!
anyway, it prompted me to want to tell our friends and clients what we are doing to help make a difference. not an easy thing in an industry like ours!

you know we get a lot of 'skip the bag' these days, and we're great with that. but just to let you know -
all of our bags, boxes and tissue are recycled and recyclable! this has been our choice from the beginning 8 years ago. our ribbons are 'green' made of cotton and water-soluble adhesive, on looms from the 1920's, and completely biodegradable. and we've been told our 'cub' bags make great lunch bags!
we have finally managed with the help of the crescent building management, to recycle everything we can. we now recycle almost all the boxes we receive, by either reuse, or bulk cardboard recycling. we recycle all of the magazines we receive, also our plastic water bottles (but purchased a fridge with an in door water server to cut down on those!). we now shred much of our junk mail and old papers and use for shipping packaging. speaking of shipping packaging, we reuse every bit possible, the packing peanuts, bubble wrap and anything else. (the peanuts from our candle vendors are the best smelling around!).
we also installed sustainable and eco-friendly cork flooring at the new shop, and left the concrete floor in our stock room. we've also changed all of our incandescent lighting to energy smart compact fluorescent bulbs, too.

so, hope you have a great earth day, and shop at lusso with the comfort of knowing we are doing something... for our kids and yours.
