Post consumer material refers to the end product that has completed its life cycle as a consumer item and would have been disposed of as a solid waste. But instead, the product was used to manufacture something new. For example, recycled denim jeans can be made into pencils! You want to look for products with the highest amount of post-consumer recycled material.

Shop LocalWhy shop at a locally owned business first? Because far more of the money spent at local businesses is reinvested in your community. This helps other local businesses, which creates greater diversity and helps the community maintain its unique appeal. Shopping local is environmentally friendly, too: it creates less traffic and pollution.
