Environmentally friendly packaging & shipping decisions made easy!

My latest article Going Green: Responsible Packaging & Shipping Decisions is now up in my column in the GreenWise department at Handmade News. This week’s article provides some easy ways for you to make environmentally responsible product packaging and shipping decisions. Learn to make simple choices that have a big impact on the environment, while saving money, too!

Tomorrow I start working on my third green article for my column in the GreenWise department at Handmade News; this one on Green Marketing. Stay tuned for more details. My column runs every Thursday. I’ll post a link to the next article once it’s published.
