THE ART OF PACKING + SHIPPING
SUSTAINABLY

I’ve had myriad conversations and delved deeply into researching the best ways to package and ship sustainably leading up to our launch. To be honest, before delving so intricately into it, I thought for sure I was going to choose “compostable everything” for all of my packing and shipping needs, but on closer observation, and seeing how the domino effect that packing and shipping takes on after it leaves our own hands and is out there in the world, I took a mindful pause in that decision, and you can read about how that decision changed for me in our blog titled CRACKING THE MYSTICISM BEHIND ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING. Here at THE BEAUTIFUL EARTH, we are honoring shipping as a sustainable action that may cost us more to package and get to you in a sustainable way, but we are more than happy to embrace and make this a fun, positive enterprise in our office.
