#fedihelp we need some advice. We used to buy our shoppers from Releafbags, a company based in Europe that uses fallen leaves from EU cities to make paper. Unfortunately it seems that they're not updating their website anymore, so we need to change supplier.
Does anyone know any company that produce sustainable paper bags for shops and small businesses?

#MissKitty believes in top line. I hate even looking at the bottom line. Can't we just keep it moving? We do not have shortages. We have resource #mismanagement. We have not come close to maxing out what we can #sustainably do. #Sustainable is only way to approach whatever max is. Otherwise breaks.

As I suspected, the article is BS! I would read the next article in the thread for the truth about using peat!

Hmmmm... I found an article about #Canadian #PeatMoss being produced more #sustainably, but I'm not 100% convinced of that... Anyone care to chime in?

How to Keep Beverages Cool Outside the Refrigerator

April 25, 2012

"In the industrialized world, we know only of one way to cool beverages: place containers in refrigerators. This practice, which occurs on a massive scale, is utterly dependent on fossil fuels.

"However, people obtained the same result much more #sustainably before the advent of the Industrial Revolution. In hot, dry climates, we used porous earthenware jugs that were not only re-usable, but also kept water cool by taking advantage of natural energy sources.

"The best known example is the Spanish ‘#botijo’, an unglazed ceramic container that cools beverages by evaporation. Similar drinking containers can be found in other Mediterranean countries, as well as in Mexico (where it is known as a ‘#búcaro’) and on the Indian subcontinent (where it is called a ‘#ghara’, ‘#matka’ or ‘#suhari’).

"The ceramic water cooler probably originated in the Indus Valley Civilization, which would make it 5000 years old."
