Scotch helps with small changes for the environment (giveaway!)

Even though Earth Day is over, we should always be thinking of ways to help out our environment. All the little changes that we can do, that are easy to incorporate into everyday life, add up in a big way! I've touched on this topic before, but with little feedback, and I'm hoping to get a bit more from you all this time around.

Scotch brand has come out with new Scotch Magic eco-friendly tape, to help make a small change easier for you to make for our environment. With the 50th anniversary of Scotch Magic Tape, the eco-friendly variety is launching as well. This new option from Scotch features a refillable dispenser, along with the packaging and tape, that is made from more than 75% of renewable or recyclable materials.

It makes me very happy to see big, huge companies that help us make our small changes easier. Big thanks to the Scotch brand for making one more change that much easier for me!


Want to win a set of green office supplies including the new Scotch Tape? Leave a comment here with another small change that you've made to live a little greener!

I have started using scratch paper at work. If I need to print out something that I do not need to keep, I print it on the back of another paper so that both sides get used. Definitely saves paper. Thanks.

In our home and home office we are recycling everything possible. As a result, we only have one small white kitchen bag of garbage every two weeks.

It really makes a difference and it was easy to get used to recycling. We put the recycle bins in the garage where they are easily accessible to everyone.

Thanks for the giveaway.

I made a small change by switching all the light bulbs in my home, that are possible, to CFL bulbs. Unfortunately, there are not CFL bulbs to fit all the fixtures but I am sure there will be sometime soon.

We have done allot to change how we live, to decrease our footprint. We compost everything that we can, and recycle anything that we can that is left. We bike or walk if we can instead of drive, we use cloth bags instead of plastic, always. We buy local, or within a 100 miles for our produce when possible. We have a HUGE garden.
