I am committed to sustainability and always looking for ways to improve my production methods. My studio is in a building that uses greywater, recycling, and compost systems. Most of my studio furniture and storage is reused/repurposed/recycled from the Center for Creative Reuse, yard sales, flea markets etc.

PAPER PRODUCTS: I am currently printing my cards on recycled (30% postconsumer) paper which is made with 100% windpower-generated electricity; the paper production process is certified sustainable by GreenSeal and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Most envelopes are made with 30-50% postconsumer waste and are FSC-certified; they are purchased from a company that uses windpower and recycled shipping materials. I am researching paper options so my next paper purchase should be 100% postconsumer waste! When stores require cards to be packaged in plastic, I am using compostable/biodegradable EarthFirst PLA Film.

ART/CRAFT: I always keep my eye out for art & craft supplies that can be reused/repurposed from SCRAP, the Center for Creative Reuse, yard sales, etc.
