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.
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 eventually, that the pictures in your oldest photo albums are not quite as rich in color as they once were. This would especially be true if they've been put into the photo albums with the plastic pages, since it's more than likely that the pages have something in their make-up called polyvinyl chlorides, or PVCs. Over time, these chemicals actually bleed the color out of photos. After years of being stored in there, the best pictures look like they were originally overexposed.
Obviously then, what needs to be done is to find a photo album without these PVCs in their pages. There may be others available out there, but the one I'm familiar with is forestcityphotoalbums.com, which has 80+ different designs available. Each of these designs has, instead of plastic pages, paper pages akin to heavy construction paper. This will never fade your pictures, no matter how many decades they remain in the photo album. Since the albums with the plastic pages are so prevalent these days, it's good to know that an alternative is out there awaiting purchase.
In addition to being PVC free, they are also, as the article's title infers, eco-friendly photo albums. This means that they use no animal parts of any kind, as well as no endangered plants. In fact, since they're made by hand on a tropical island, Indonesia's Bali, to be exact, the materials--seeds, flowers, bamboo, leaves, etc., will be in generous supply right out the front door, certainly throughout my lifetime, if not through several more, at a minimum.
We hope to meet you soon.
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.
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.
Give the Gift of
As this article is being written, we're personally on the verge of the Christmas season, but commercially, it's already in full swing. However, you may read this six months from now, but at that time, it might very well be near a birthday or anniversary, or just after a wonderful vacation, so you could give yourself a gift in which to put your huge stack of pictures.
