custom packaging

Volunteers are toiling in a Main Street warehouse sorting plastic debris painstakingly picked from B.C's beaches and islands, some of it originating from as far away as Japan. Hundreds of bulging "super sack" refuse bags containing tonnes of garbage tower over the proceedings. In their shadow, plastic water bottles, buoys and thousands of less recognizable items are cleaned of barnacles and seaweed, sorted and bagged. "We get a lot of random, mysterious, hard, mixed plastics, it's a huge percentage," said Chloe Dubois, executive director of the non-profitOcean Legacy Foundation, which is running the Upcycle Challenge Event. Hard and clear plastics find a new life in packaging, while Styrofoam can be repurposed into door mouldings and picture frames. Ocean Legacy has been cleaning the beaches aroundNootka Sound since 2014 and disposing of tonnes of garbage. "Up until last year a lot of the material collected had been going to landfill, so our g...

In my FTM (first time mom) SIDS phobia obsession, I bought probably the hardest mattress on the face of the earth - the Colgate Classica Foam (Baby Bargains was my bible). The mattress is seriously hard as a rock. DD (dear daughter) and I have been co-sleeping for the past month or so (long story) and I need to transition her back to her crib. Of course, I'm sure she's gotten used to the much more comfortable regular mattress now - If I was her, I certainly wouldn't want to sleep on that hard surface.In an effort to ease the transition back to the crib, I'd like to use a pillow top What's or a cushy mattress cover or something to make it more comfortable. Anyone use anything that they like/recommend to make LO's mattress more comfortable? The water proof mattress pads I have (all 3 of them) basically don't do anything to add much comfort. There's a slight "quilt" to the ones I have, but the mattress certainly doesn't feel any so...

Honestly, when it comes to choosing an anti aging skin care product , you're in danger of being buried alive. It seems everyone is touting a new "miracle" product that will wipe years of your face in less than a week. The fountain of youth is big business. Cosmetic companies realize that people will spend their life savings trying to look twenty again. Did you know that the average face-lift in the US is over $5,000? Yikes! Billions of dollars are poured into the cosmetic surgery bucket every year. Can you afford 5 grand on a face lift? I certainly can't (and do I really want to?). So in comes the anti aging skin care product line. For substantially less than 5K, you can "use our cream for stunning non-surgical results". So, we shell out $60 dollars for an ounce. We "splurge" on the $100 dollar "Skin Sensation. " We cross our fingers, just hoping that this time it will actually WORK. Sadly, most of that is money wasted. The majority o...
