Green Scrapbooking

	Tropical Scrapbooking is a Green Business! At Tropical Scrapbooking, we love sailing on the clear blue ocean, laying on a pristine tropical beach, diving on living coral reefs, and visiting the magnificant islands of the world. So we are doing our part to make sure they remain pristine for future generations.

	Office Paper - We Reduce, Reuse and Recycle We store many office documents digitally instead of filing paper copies. We communicate with our customers and vendors via email, not by paper mail. When we have to use paper, we choose recycled paper. We also reuse office supplies, such as reusing old file folders and using the back of waste paper.
	Shipping and Packaging - We Reduce, Reuse and Recycle We reuse as many shipping boxes as possible. We reuse packing peanuts and other packing materials.
	Energy and Lighting - We Reduce and Use Energy Efficiency We minimize use of heating and air conditioning. Thermostats are on programable timers to avoid wasting energy. We use energy saving compact florescent bulbs for most lighting. We use energy saving computers and appliances.
	Recycling - We Choose to Recycle We recycle paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, and glass when they can not be reused. We recycle batteries, electronics, toner cartridges, computers and computer parts.
	Cleaners - We Choose to Environmentally Friendly Products We choose cleaners and detergents that are safe for the environment.
	Waste Reduction - We Choose to Tread Lightly on the Earth We do not use wasteful disposable items such as paper plates, styrofoam cups, plastic eating utensils, etc.
	Transportation - We choose hybrid technology We love our Toyota Prius! It is a wonderful car to drive, and is a bonus to only use a few gallons of gas each month.
