Every little bit Counts……
Conservation & the environment are really important to me. I love being in the mountains and surrounded by nature. It is important for me to have as little impact as possible on our precious planet. I believe that every little bit counts and here is how I’m trying to make my business a little more ‘Green.’
1. I am a Certified Greener Photographer . For more information please visit www.greenerphotography.com
- Greener Photography is a place for the photographic community to consider the environment; learn to conserve and better preserve our resources and images; and connect by sharing suppliers, ideas, and methods. Together we can learn how each of us can be more green, advocate for change within our field, and provide a place for informed discussion about how we can make photography greener. The nature of our tools and traditional materials makes photography a high-tech field; it is an energy-intensive activity. We believe that we can make our high-tech field more green by implementing environmentally-friendly practices, and encouraging suppliers to do the same.
2. I use an Eco-Friendly Printer, GREENER PRINTER for all of my office printing needs.
3. Everything that I use with my packaging is either bio-degradable, 100% recycled or 100% reusable.
4. I only offer 100% online (paperless) proofing.
5. I minimize use of paper by moving information electronically (website/blog/email/pdf) and print double-sided on recycled paper when digital communication is not feasible. I’m trying to go completely PAPERLESS.
6. I offer environmentally friendly albums.
- The albums are Acid-free, which keeps your photos in a PH-neutral, archival environment.
- Tree-free, made from 100% cotton linters, which are a waste byproduct of the textile industry.
- Chlorine bleach-free, keeping harmful chemicals out of our homes, not to mention our water sources.
- Sourced from environmentally conscious suppliers.
7. I have modified my business practices to be more environmentally friendly.
- I reduce. reuse. and recycle everything I can.
- I use rechargable batteries whenever possible, and recycle standard batteries when I must use them..
- All Incoming Packaging Materials (cardboard, paper, etc.) are reused and recycled..
- I use CFLs in my home / office.
- I am continually looking for new ways to make my business more efficient through the use of environmentally friendly products and practices.
