CATEGORY - VALENTINE'S DAY

Ok, so others have been/are banging on about this for an age. Best I can do at short notice!

I now they (the packaging) are the antichrist, but maybe as they exist we can share the love in some small effort at mitigation.



Left/top. Right/bottom.

About.com - quick, cheap ideas
Guardian - Keep Valentine's day green - some are not exchaging cards, apparently
Reuters - Valentine's Day - it's not so much about love - no, it should be about re:love and presents from the heart!

I'll add more if I find 'em or get told.

Who knows, Cupid may approve?

I belive I recall posting once that green-friendly folk now appeal more to the opposite sex:)

SITE - HOME PRINTED XMAS CARDS

This started as a link for a simple Xmas-related site: dltk-cards.com

Of course nothing in matters green can ever be that simple.

Because having initially though 'neato, a way to do stuff at hoe last minute', I began to ponder consequences. As you do.

I ended up still in favour, having borne a few things in mind.

This family wraps prezzies in newspaper. It last a nanosecond once the opening bell is rung, and no one gives a monkeys for it under the tree or once discarded. It is useful to help light the fire (we unplug the fireplace and switch off the central heating).

Trouble is, it's hard to see who gets what. A label is useful..

Labels cost money, need to be made and printed and then got to the house from a shop.

Hence, and so long as they are printed on the back of other paper, and the most is made of the page coverage, I am prepared to live with the PC and ink commitment.

Hope that adds up.

I sometimes forget Junkk.com is mainly about ideas

I just uploaded the Squidstand to the site.

While the base is a bit of fun, I am very proud of the 'clip' system, which will hold even a floppy piece of A4 tall and proud.

And it came to me simply be staring at a collection of new-fangled tin lids.

Now I'm thinking what else can be made using this system.
