South Moon Under; Where Going Green is at the Height of Fashion
Here at South Moon Under, gone are the days of polystyrene packing peanuts! Poly-what? You know what we’re talking about; the little packaging nuggets that are meant to protect your precious South Moon Under cargo during shipment. Although good intentioned, these things are hardly stylish. In a time where going green is considered chic, these bad boys are on the environmental DON’T list.
Because these pesky packing peanuts are not water soluble it is impossible to ever really dispose of them. To make the most of a bad situation many companies recycle them.
Despite their well meaning efforts, undoubtedly somewhere along the line these peanuts will end up in a landfill taking up space and tarnishing our beautiful earth.
Now, if you want the WHOLE truth, the ugly truth, the honest truth; they are hardly effective at their job anyway. Often, during shipping these chemically constructed buggers will develop a static charge causing heavier cargo to shift to the bottom of the box. You heard us right; not only are they horrible for the environment, they’re virtually ineffective at their intended purpose.
So, as we stated before – ‘gone are the days of polystyrene packing peanuts!’ They are; dare-we-say, an environmental faux pas. In other words: so not cool. Then what, you ask, is our alternative? How will you ensure our beautiful merchandise arrives intact?
Fear not, our valued customer; your friends at South Moon Under are always on the cutting edge, fashion and otherwise. As an environmentally friendly alternative we’ve begun to use Doctors Foster and Smith Nuts. The genius thing about these packing peanuts, the thing that makes them so chic, is that they are 100% biodegradable! Made from starch, Doctors Foster and Smith’s peanuts dissolve completely in water.
We know, we know, it sounds too good to be true! Peanuts that protect your merchandise AND our environment…hard to believe! But don’t doubt us, see for yourself. Run water over top of the packing nuts and in a few moments they are gone completely, with no residual dangerous run-off. Made from all natural ingredients, they can be safely dissolved back into nature.
So the next time you order from us, remember that little something extra that you’ve taken part in to help our environment. It doesn’t take much; with just a subtle change you can do your part to keep our environment lovely, just like you.
