  <p>People often tell us they find our &quot;Darling Clementines&quot; crates   both useful and environmentally friendly. Unlike the plastics and other   synthetics, which accounts for most of our food packaging today, our   wooden crates are both bio-degradable and readily re-absorbed into the   environment. What's more, these cute little crates can be put to a   variety of different practical uses.</p>
  <p>Some people use them to store tools, cosmetics, kitchen utensils and   the like. Others use them to make go-carts and toys on wheels for their   toddlers. Some use them as pie crates or containers for dried flower   displays, as plant pots. Some use them as firewood. Some even use them   as toy houses for teddy bears.</p>
