Going Green at 3000toys.com

Even though this year's Earth Day is behind us, it's still important to hold onto the spirit of green living. We believe we are the stewards of the Earth and that it's our responsibility to leave a better world for future generations.

   


Here at 3000toys.com, we do our part to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
One way we reduce our waste is by using paper packing material whenever we can. Styrofoam is convenient, but not very environmentally friendly!
We also save and reuse our manufacturers' cardboard shipping boxes whenever possible.
Plus, rather than throwing unusable boxes away, we recycle them!

 Striving to reduce our environmental impact is an important part of the way we do business, and we encourage our customers to be conservation-minded, as well. What are some ways you practice good stewardship of our natural resources? Let us know in the comments section below or on our Facebook page!
