There are almost always options.

Good morning,

Have you ever wondered how many acres of forest are cut down
to provide the thousand and one paper and wood products we
take for granted on a daily basis? Forests that combat global
warming, forests that clean the air of carbon dioxide and
pump out oxygen, forests that provide a habitat for hundreds
of thousands of species of life.

Nobody thinks that we can live without paper and wood products,
but responsible use will help slow the wholesale destruction
of this invaluable natural resource.

Scroll down for a few easy tips you can start using today!

Thanks for reading,

Forever Flashlight - Easy To Use & Lasts FOREVER</a>

* Save a tree, use less paper.  You can buy “tree-free” 100
percent post-consumer recycled paper for everything from
greeting cards to toilet paper. Paper with a high post-
consumer waste content uses less virgin pulp and keeps more
waste paper out of landfills.

 
* Want hardwood floors? Opt for bamboo. Bamboo is considered
an environmentally friendly flooring material due to its high
yield and the relatively fast rate at which it replenishes
itself. It takes just four to six years for bamboo to mature,
compared to 50-100 years for typical hardwoods. Just be sure
to look for sources that use formaldehyde-free glues.

 
* Remove yourself from junk mail lists. Each person will
receive almost 560 pieces of junk mail this year, which adds
up nationally to 4.5 million tons, according to the Native
Forest Network. About 44% of all junk mail is thrown in the
trash, unopened and unread, and ends up in a landfill. To
stem the flow into your own home, contact the Direct Marketing
Association’s Mail Preference Service at P.O. Box 643, Carmel,
NY 10512, or download the online form. Opt out of credit card
or insurance offers at OptOutPrescreen.com or by calling
888-567-8688, a single automated phone line maintained by the
major credit bureaus.
