New Catalogue

Jennifer — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 21:52:58 +0000

We have a new catalogue! This means some new products and some new prices. The good news is that not all have gone up – many prices have gone down or stayed the same. Any price decreases have been in effect as of March 1st, any increases will be effective as of April 1st. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like a new electronic or hard copy.

Important note – by the end of the month we will introduce our new online ordering system at www.GreenSupplyHouse.com. For now, it is in beta testing with changes and fixes happening every day. I think most people will find it very handy but for anyone who would prefer to call, fax or email, that too is still always appreciated. We will keep you all posted.

Nuclear Power

Can the devastation in Japan not be enough of an example of why we need to conserve and cut our energy use, and not consider nuclear an option? Will we live to see the day when we can stop debating choices that ultimately amount to playing Russian Roulette with nature, and innocent species on the planet?

Website

General Update

Jennifer — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 21:34:20 +0000

We are happy to report that we are still alive and well, with lots of strong supporters, and affecting change at multiple levels. As many of you know, a labour intensive website was never our thing… we are busy in the day to day, with the people in our sphere.

That said, we want to make room for more, and grow this network so that we can really fight back against backwards policies, and have the time and money to help further the cause as much as possible. One example we need time and money for is the fight against fake biodegradable products, and the government bodies who are more concerned about the money they are losing from people diverting waste (from their fee based landfill programs) than they are about making real progress.

Whoever wouldn’t have seen that it was dangerous to create a revenue stream for the government when people send things to the landfill, and an expense to them when we go green. So what to do? Well, it seems their answer is to call the green bad and ban real biodegradables from compost with the logic (more or less) that we are all too stupid to find a way around the “confusion”. Interesting (and not ironic) that they never challenge the most deadly petroleum based plastics – such as PVC… and … to think that we now have billboards boasting polystyrene as “recyclable”.

For anyone who’s confused – here is the quick and simple: almost anything CAN be recycled – the issue is WILL it be. The answer – it is only going to be recycled if there is a market demand for it. So… will polystyrene be recycled – some of it yes… coffee cups and mass use take out containers… NO! They are the bottom of the barrel in terms of value… it is cheaper to buy virgin resin. Sure, polystyrene manufactures will fight against their market loss … maybe even by funding the recycling of their plagued materials for a period of time… but… bottom line… we produce far more polystyrene than we have recycling markets for, and… the material itself has implications that trace back to the drilling of the oil and beyond the concern of the chemical additives. Moreover – for anyone who gets what we have been trying to tell everyone – biodegradable does not just tell you about what becomes of a material but also, what goes into making that material.

Well… perhaps it is obvious why sometimes we say nothing at all… but, right now… we are thinking it might be time to start a petition. First things first – we will monitor the situation and would like to get feedback from all of you.

PS – Yes – GreenSupplyHouse Fall 2009 pricing is still in effect! New catalogue coming soon
