1000 Flowers for the Planet - #596 Buy Threads on Wooden Reels
If you sew then you will know how cotton and
polyester thread comes on little plastic reels. When you run out of thread
there’s a piece of plastic to throw in the bin/trash, which adds to landfill
and puts more plastic out there in the environment.
Fortunately there is good news. At offsetwarehouse.com you can purchase thread on wooden reels, and because
they are made from a natural resource they will break down in the environment, unless
you are able to find another use for them. My thinking is that they should be
returned to the factory to be wound with a new length of thread – that would be
recycling at its best. But the good news doesn’t stop there. The threads are
also organic – organic cotton that doesn’t harm the environment, unlike its
counterpart, which is responsible for about 25% of the world’s chemicals used
for crop growth.
Check out this excellent site for all kinds of
environmentally friendly products and support businesses that do their best for
the planet.
