GreenBird™ birdhouses are made from laminated recycled paper with a biodegradable aqueous coating. The birdhouses are made to last one nesting season. At that time, the house may be added to a compost container or recycled. Using recycled paper has a number of earth friendly benefits:

• Recycling decreases green house gas emissions (fights global warming)
• Recycling reduces the need for landfills
• Recycling saves energy
• Recycling conserves water, wood and minerals
• Recycling one ton of paper saves up to seventeen trees
• Using Greenbird birdhouses for a season provides earth friendly protection for our bird friends

WatchList 2007, a joint study by the American Bird Conservancy and The National Audubon Society found 25% of U.S. bird species are declining or rare. Ways to stop the decline include:

• Fight global warming
• Promote grassland habitats
• Protect wetlands
• Support sustainable forests
• Decrease mosquito-breeding opportunities (West Nile).
