When you hear the term "traditional photo album", the image that undoubtedly comes to mind is a photo album made of cardboard covered with a plastic material of some sort, and with a set of rings for holding the pages, which in turn will hold your pictures, presumably safely for many years to come.
When you hear the term "traditional photo album", the image that undoubtedly comes to mind is a photo album made of cardboard covered with a plastic material of some sort, and with a set of rings for holding the pages, which in turn will hold your pictures, presumably safely for years to come. However, these pages are most likely going to be made of plastic, with four to six pockets, holding eight or twelve pictures each. The thing many people don't realize is that, if they're like most pages of this type, they will be found to contain a chemical called polyvinyl chlorides, or PVCs. They aren't a danger to humans, but they certain can wreak havoc on your photos over the years. The way they do this is by slowly sucking the color out of them. After a period of years, instead of the vibrant colors that were originally on the photos, they become a sort of pastel, which is really disappointing, since most pictures can't be redone, as they're of people who have since aged, or scenes captured on a vacation long ago. So, the memory is forever lost in its original form.
However, eco-friendly photo albums, like the ones available through forestcityphotoalbums.com will not do this damage, no matter how many years the pictures remain in them, since they don't contain any plastic of any kind, so the PVC danger doesn't exist. Instead, the pages are a heavy paper similar to construction paper, thus completely safe. You can trust your precious, irreplaceable photos to them for your lifetime and beyond. Not only are they functional, they're also very artistic in nature, in that they are each a work of art, handcrafted by master craftsmen on the island of Bali in Indonesia. Each ingredient in them, whether bamboo, or various kinds of seeds, leaves, or flowers, is used as is--no tampering with the natural color. Since things in nature tend to be one-of-a-kind, rather than assembly line in nature, each is slightly unique in some way, whether the pattern of the coloring on the bamboo, the time in the life of the flower when it was picked for use in a photo album, etc. Thus, each one of these organic photo albums is literally as unique as people or snowflakes.

How Individuals Can Help Combat Global Warming
For the past 10 years or more we've been hearing lots about something called Global Warming. For some, it's come to be a clarion call for all that needs to change in the way we do things here on earth, i.e., that we're responsible. Others, however, say it happened in the past, and it will happen again in the future. It's just the ebb and flow of the planet, and we as humans had nothing to do with it.
How Eco-friendly Photo Albums Can Preserve Your Memories For Future Generations
Yes, eco-friendly photo albums can preserve your memories for future generations. In normal circumstances, unless you have one of the ancient albums passed along to you by parents or grandparents, with the black stick-on corners, you're probably noticing, or will sooner or later, that the pictures in your oldest photo albums are not quite as rich in color as they once were.
What is an All-Natural Photo Album?
The way I see it, an all-natural photo album would need to be assembled without the use of assembly line parts. They would need to be used as they are found in nature. It might also be good for them to not be assembled with the use of machines.
