We've had to resort to purchasing a few things online over the past few weeks. As usual we are looking to purchase items through small businesses. They are pretty great about using recycled + recyclable materials for shipping (and it doesn't hurt to ask for them either).
Amazon may be a last resort...but there is a way to reduce the use of plastic mailers from them as well. It involves a quick chat (through the "help" button at the bottom of the page). When I requested plastic-free packaging on all future orders, the representative responded in a very encouraging way + the request was noted on our account.
A couple of fun ways to use the cardboard that does come through might be to make some bears out of them + contribute to your neighborhood's bear hunt or to design the house of your dreams. :)
Love,
Jane
