Eco-Friendly Efforts

It 'aint easy, but I'm trying.

Making art products sustainably isn’t an easy task. 

Big change needs to happen at a government level (to control large corporations), but the blame is shifted to consumers and small businesses. Unfortunately, it is very hard (and cost-prohibitive) to source truly eco-friendly supplies. I make stickers. I sell my prints in stores and at markets, so I need to use clear protective packaging.

While I may not be able to work around this, I’m always looking for ways that I can do more to respect the environment & make up for my waste in other ways. This is what I’m currently doing to bring you art that comes from a place of minimal waste:

• Recyclable envelopes & mailers

• Repurposed packaging when possible (boxes, mailers, bubblewrap, tissue paper, plastics)

• Stamps instead of labels when possible to reduce use of backing paper & improve recyclability (please remove any stickers/tape before recycling your packaging)

• 100% recycled paper shopping bags

• Compostable black "poly" mailers

• Recycle/reuse paper scraps

• Reusable painting cloths

• Repurpose yogurt tubs for paint water

• I make my own prints and cards (with manual paper cutters)

• Refillable printer ink

• Carbon neutral shipping on all orders

• I recycle, of course.
