So today I noticed that my normal tea bag was missing the string and tag. Although I was first irritated by the idea, I went to the box for some sort of reasoning. Celestial Seasonings teas bags "is the result of [their] commitment to doing what's best for the environment." The natural fiber tea bags without the typical strings, tags, staples, or individual wrappers lets the company save more than 3.5 million pounds of waste.
So the next time you want to have a nice warm cup of tea on a cold fall day, look for Celestial Seasonings. You will be getting a delicious refreshment and be helping the environment.

It is a very clever idea that Celestial Seasonings did not put the string or staples on the tea bags, not only to save money but also the environment. This example shows clearly that we all can do small things, like not using tea bags with strings, to help save our planet and reduce waste.
ReplyDeleteand you can compost the tea bag when you are done with it!
ReplyDeleteI'm also concerned with all of the coffee grounds and fruit cores and peels that are not being composted at school. I'm going to try and put a bucket next to the coffee and Emma is making a sign to place next to thr fruit basket.
