| | Olive Barn Conservation and Recycle Program  "Change always starts with the realization that your path will not lead to your desired destination."
-Jacqueline D'Elia
 One of our primary goals is to raise awareness about sustainable living. To us, the green movement is about the little choices we make everyday that create real change. Olive Barn shipping is now carbon neutral. We offset all of our footprint in shipping products to you through our participation in the Carbonfree™ program. You'll love our fresh, unique product mix for making the most of your home and garden spaces.
At Olive Barn we are concerned about our environment and want to reduce our impact on it. We phased out our buying of recycled stryofoam packing peanuts and replace them with bio-degradable alternatives such as all 100% natural corn starch peanuts which dissolve in water. They are more expensive than styrofoam peanuts, but will reduce the environmental impact on future generations. Besides, it is fun to see them dissolve in water. Try it and see.
Bubble Wrap is Out! In 2008, we began phasing out all plastic bubblewrap. By the end of April 2008, we will have replaced it with alternative recycled/recyclable paper fill. We are testing several new products. For details about this transition, visit our blog.
If you receive packing peanuts from us, rest assured they are re-used peanuts that we received in boxes from our suppliers. We will no longer buy any stryofoam peanuts and will continue to encourage our suppliers to eliminate their use in packing and product.
In addition, we will selectively use Corru-Fill® which is 100% recycled cardboard boxes shredded into packing material which is excellent for packaging large heavy items.
