It is only when you step out of the box that you see things for what they are, and can then approach the task with a new viewpoint.

Here is a case example. Outdoor furniture has been the cause of logging in many parts of the world and has manufactured in irresponsible ways. So what can we do?

The problem is not the timber, but the way that the timber is sourced. Solution source the timber form sustainable means, ie. railways, unused buildings.

The result: Outdoor furniture manufactured from timber with a real earthy an weathered feel, that consumers appreciate, and can sold with the same profit as normal outdoor furniture, without the environmental guilt.

As you said Melissa, there is always more benefits in thinking sustainable, than just saving the planet.
