why green?

Let's work with this beautiful Earth, instead of fighting against her. An increasing consumer base is searching for a greener alternative way to conduct business. At the same time, many consumers are also seeking companies who use environmentally friendly ways to conduct business, thus creating a demand for this market. While supplying green alternatives, companies can also feel good that they are helping to restore this Earth and not deplete it.

I realize that you are just one company in a vast market, but the green movement is really about one small step at a time. If every company considered going green, it would be a much cleaner world we live in. Help move the environment one step forward by choosing to play a small part in deciding to go green. If we all work together, one day the world may be a more beautiful place for the future generations.

healthy alternatives

Making beautiful and effective design, as well as protecting our environment is my goal with all projects. We are always learning about new methods in green design, here are just a few of the ways I stay green:

eco-web hosting powered by the sun & wind

eco-printing solutions - low VOC inks such as soy & veggie based inks

eco-materials made from recycled, post-consumer waste

eco-production, reducing the amount of materials needed for production

eco-transport, utilizing production methods that require the least amount of transport. aslo a simple way to give back to your community

eco-office, paperless & carbonless office

  • real world use: delivery method, individual & community impact, additional enegy or materials

step 3: design for sustainability

  • materials reduction: smaller, fewer components, scrap materials, recycled content and more...
  • health & safety: nontoxic materials, renewable resources & without exploiting or harming workers
