Have you looked at the environmental situation recently, and wondered if there is some way you can get involved in the solution instead of the problem without giving up driving, flying, using your power mower, etc.? Of course, one person can't turn the clock back to pre-industrialized days alone. But, as the saying goes, every little bit helps. Then sometimes, it turns out that extreme action like that is not at all necessary.
Take, for example, the problems associated with photo albums. First, they're probably going to be cardboard covered with plastic, and have a metal ring mechanism to hold the plastic pages, which have pockets for the photos--plastic which will, over time, leach the color from the photos, because of the more-than-likely presence of a chemical called polyvinyl chlorides, or PVCs.
There is a very viable alternative to this bad situation. There is a group of highly skilled craftsmen and women on the island of Bali in Indonesia, who make eco-friendly photo albums from items readily at hand in the adjacent jungle--things such as bamboo, leaves, seeds and flowers, which are fashioned into any one of 80 some different designs, each coming in small, medium and large sizes.
These photo albums are surprisingly reasonable in price. Most can be found under $100 on online retail websites. Buying eco-friendly albums will do two things--help in a small way to save the environment, as well as to preserve your precious memories. Each one is a treasure, because no two eco-friendly photo albums are alike.
