    I have been offered quite a lot of shredded paper from my office.

    My wife has a horse which lives in the field all year, so we have a lot of “green” to add to the brown :)

    My only concern is about the printer ink? Is the printer ink dangerous in any way?

     It is a concern and I do not know. We are surrounded by it.  On the other hand it may break down to something innocuous, but I don’t think anyone has checked it from that point of view. Same with the printing on cardboard.

    The only paper and card I avoid is shiny, laminated stuff. In your shoes I would use the paper.

    Thanks Charles.

    The worms seem to love Amazon packages another good reason to buy your forthcoming book?

    Cheers,

    Ben
