Shopping for sustainability

As a carpenter notices another craftsman's work, so does a sustainability consultant. While shopping I'm always in search of how the retail industry is putting sustainability to work in their stores.

It's exciting to see creative ways that some industries are slowly moving away from plastic. In the bedroom section of some stores you will notice bed sets are now being placed into matching fabric totes. Formerly, we would see them displayed in plastic zip-ups.

Definitely a sign of finding creative ways to use less petroleum products.
