Support Recycled Paper
Recycled paper is no longer a grey and rather course product, only suitable for kitchen towel and packaging products.
Today's new processes can produce a rather more superior and altogether smarter paper that takes modern water soluble inks with ease and colour strength.
It can now become a pleasure to write on whether using fountain pen or pencil, and makes you feel a whole lot better about not felling another tree.
After all our planet can no longer sustain the constant drain on resource's that are currently being used in our production of our everyday consumer need.
What we now find available is a whole new and quite delightful range of of paper products carefully produced with the paper lover in mind, and lets face us stationery fanatics, are always looking out for a new design or something of interest, to support there happy hobby of loving tactile and fine products to feed their paper passion.
Personally it is not a question of needing another notebook or pen, but it gives me "child in a sweet shop" glow when I get to handle a new and exciting product, but if I find something unusual or new on the market place, I often feel a sense of excitement and a desire to share it with like minded stationery lover.
Do you often wonder when the recycling bin is carted way, how do they separate the paper from the plastic, the tins from the glass and how come they take milk cartons and not yoghurt pots.
The cynic in some of us might think it all goes into land fill, but makes the councils look good for going through the motions of collecting our weekly waste.
But I am not so sure about that, I do know that quite a lot goes abroad to be broken down into a usable product to be manufactured into a shiny new item.
But there has to be some changes to the way we package our goods, manufactures and supermarkets take more responsibility for getting our goods to us with the minimum of impact on the environment.
Why do mushrooms need to come in plastic cartons for instants, recycled cardboard would work just fine and has the benefit of being compost able to boot.
I could rattle on about this for a very long time, but the good progress we are making as a nation in the recycling area cannot go unnoticed, yet we can hopefully continue to support the products made from recycled materials, in sure knowledge that the quality is improving and the paper lovers out there will share new products with like minded enthusiasts to spread the word.
