Eco-Friendly Photo Albums

From an ecological standpoint, some photo albums unquestionably qualify as eco-friendly photo albums and organic photo albums, in that some are handmade in a workshop rather than a factory, thus eco-friendly, and are made from natural materials just outside the window there at the workshop, things such as bamboo, flowers, leaves and seeds rather than metal or plastic, thus organic. "There" is the island of Bali, part of the 15,000-island nation of Indonesia. This may sound like an island which is somehow well-known to you. You may know person who has taken a beach vacation there, or you may have gone yourself. It's a beautifully exotic place. If the devastating tsunami which hit a huge area of the Indian Ocean on December 26 a few years ago had hit the Pacific instead, there would have been a big estimate of damage, of course. This would be especially true if it were a cement block construction with lots of million dollar machines housed inside. But, being a workshop instead, using materials facilely at hand, they would have been up and running again in a much shorter time, and at a fraction of the cost--a real advantage of a green industry.

So, we've established that some photo albums are both eco-friendly and organic. However, one dictionary definition of this type of "green" refers to a person, and states that they would be "a supporter of a communal and political movement that espouses global environmental protection, bioregionalism, communal responsibility, and nonviolence" maybe some of the handcrafters and some of our customers would qualify. But someone else definition we found would unquestionably refer to the albums--"environmentally sound or beneficial", and we would talk to that definition with a resounding "Yes, they're green in every sense!" As opposed to a paper mill coming in the area, or the coming of slash-and-burn methods of clearing land for start-up farming, this does no damage whatsoever. More businesses of this nature should be encouraged worldwide, but especially in the ecologically diverse, but highly fragile environment of the jungle, where the soil is too weak and thin to support farming, and where logging or an actual factory would be devastating to the environment.
