Do You Know a Business That Uses Compostable Packaging Peanuts?
Hey Reader,
Do you own a business or know a business that ships products with compostable packaging peanuts? We have just the thing for them to showcase their environmentally-conscious shipping choices! Will you help us spread the word and celebrate more businesses making better choices for the planet and our communities?
Using our free compostable packaging peanuts STEM workbook, we partner with businesses of various sizes to help them showcase how their compostable packaging peanuts are better for the environment than traditional petroleum-based alternatives.
We have a few friends who run amazing small businesses with sustainability at the core of their missions. They use repurposed packaging and often include compostable packaging peanuts in their shipping boxes.
Many of their customers didn’t realize the packaging peanuts were compostable, so they ended up tossing the packaging peanuts in the trash. What a bummer, right?
Instead, we offer a free postcard they can include in their packages to let customers know not to throw out the compostable packaging peanuts and give them a couple of fun eco-friendly alternatives for them instead.
We are looking for more businesses who might be interested in partnering with us to celebrate their compostable packaging peanuts, and we're hoping you can help. If you know of a business that uses them, would you be so kind to forward this email or send them a link to our post all about making sure those packaging peanuts go to good use and don't end up in the trash. It's super simple and free for businesses and fun for customers!

Hey Reader, As you can guess from the lists of picture books we rounded up related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we're big fans of books around here. A few months ago, Jen started paying her kids to read (for reasons beyond bribing them to stick their noses in books). It's not for everyone, but it's worked out pretty well for her and her boys, who are 10 and 12. It's also apparently a pretty hot topic with a lot of opinions. We'd love to know if you'd pay your kids to read. Check...
Hey Reader, With objectives so broad and encompassing so many facets of life, it's no surprise that pursuits related to the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals sometimes intersect in complicated ways. And in the United States, we're seeing that right now in a high-profile labor strike by autoworkers who work for car manufacturers. Among several points of contention, auto workers are concerned that a transition from traditional internal combustion engine cars to electric vehicles...
Hey Reader, We're working on updating all of our book lists with more picture books to share with your young learners. While we've been on the topic of clean energy, we recently updated our book list for that Sustainable Development Goal. Go check it out if you haven't seen it yet. We also updated the printable list that includes a sheet you can bring to the library to grab a few of the books on the list (without having to dig through your phone or computer for the titles). If you'd like more...
