Green Goat Shares Green Back-to-School Basics with Recycled Paper!
August 25, 2010 Written by TaylorH
Recycling and using recycled materials is important to us! So, we package our soaps with 100% recycled paper and we do NOT use any plastic packaging for our soaps. The Green Goat knows that recycled goods are also important to you in all parts of your life, so he looked at the basic back-to-school shopping list and navigated through “The Ultimate Green Store” to find green alternatives for you, or your kids.
1. Notebook: Environotes Recycled Notebook contains 30% post-consumer recycled materials and Environotes recycles 98% of their scrap materials from notebook production.
2. Pencils: EarthWrite Pencils contain 60% post-consumer waster and the casing is made from recycled newspaper.
3. Ruler: TreeSmart Recycled Newspaper Ruler is made with recycled newspaper and recycled plastic.
4. Binder: The cover of the Universal Eco-Friendly Round Ring Natural Kraft Binder is made from 100% recycled materials and is dye-free.
5. Backpack: The Solar Converter Bag allows you to charge your phone, ipod and camera on the go with the 4 watts of solar power generated from the solar panels.
Since having a green and healthy lifestyle is important to us, we do what we can to incorporate those values into our product line. In addition to using recycled paper to package our soaps, we use fresh goat milk from our farm and herbs from our herb garden to make our wonderful goat milk soap. Using local ingredients helps to reduce our carbon footprint. Also, our goat milk facial cremes are made with 82% organic content and our lip balms are made with 76% organic content.
