Sustainability
Although many believe much of the world's plastic waste gets recycled, only 9% actually is. 50% of the plastic worldwide ends up in landfills, with another 1/5 being mismanaged and posing a risk of leakage into our rivers and oceans.
We well live with plastics, toxic chemicals and fossil fuels, but I hope to be part of changing our reliance on them.
Ways I do this include:- Biodegradable cello bags used for packaging
- Recycled cardboard backing on pins, notepads & art prints
- Use FSC Certified Paper used in my Stationery
- Reused & recycled cardboard postal packaging
I reuse and recycle as much as is possible in my studio, and offset anything we can’t. I source recycled and/ or sustainably sourced product for my prints, stickers and stationery, including my premium papers which are always FSC Certified.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) supports responsible forestry, which is a vital solution to combat climate change. The FSC helps protect forests, wildlife, clean water and supports the indigenous peoples, forest workers and communities who depend on them.
In addition I annually help conserve and create nature reserve due and wildlife habitat by donating proceeds to World Land Trust.
