Here is a really easy step to help you green your business up.  This one goes out to the retailers.

Post consumer bags: Next time you order more bags of any type, just get on the computer and Google “post consumer bags” and chances are that in five minutes you will have found a source for bags that should be only slightly more costly then your average but made of recycled material and extremely beneficial.  Make sure to have a nice little tag there so people know it is post consumer material; it makes your business look good and spreads the idea of using recycled products.

Always go paper: We here The Green Business Blog understand how much more a green alternative can cost and that sometimes it just isn’t viable to pursue the green alternative.  Well, when you have to choose between two worse choices try to pick the lesser evil.  It is great to use recycled products but not always practical.  Remember though that paper is the better choice: it is less toxic as it is being manufactured; trees, unlike petroleum, are renewable; and paper is also bio-degradable, or at least far more so than plastic.
