My Commitment to Sustainability
As an environmentalist, I try to be as sustainable as possible in all aspects of my life, including in my business. Living sustainably to me means using only what I need, limiting the amount of waste that I create, and trying to have the smallest impact on this planet that I possibly can.
Here are the ways that I try to keep my business sustainable:
- All greeting cards are printed on 100% recycled paper to limit the number of trees needed to be cut down for paper products.
- Prints, canvases, and mounted prints are all purchased from a local print shop to reduce the amount of carbon emissions used in shipping products.
- Frames used are purchased from thrift stores. Reusing items keeps material out of the landfill, uses less energy, and saves resources that would need to be extracted to create new products. I love going thrifting for unique frames!
- When shipping my products, I reuse as much material as possible. I collect used shipping supplies from my roomates, friends, and co-workers and give those materials a second use when shipping my products. Reusing materials saves resources, and reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.
