We’re Going Green
Posted in Uncategorized on May 29th, 2008 by Amy
We’re all concerned about making our homes, our town, our earth a better place for our children to live. Here at the studio we’re trying to creat a safe space for your children when they come into the office as well as trying our best to protect our planet. What are we doing?
Since I began the business, I have always recycled. Every drink (plastic or glass) that a client has finished while here has been put straight into the recycling bin. Other papers and cardboards also find their way to our recycling center.
For the past year, we have been using Shaklee products. We use their basic organic cleaner to clean every surface. And we use their fresh laundry liquid and soft fabric dryer sheets when washing our dress-up clothing and our drapes. Non-toxic and natural, these products are formulated to be better for the environment and gentler on our fabrics.
For the last several months we have been burning PartyLite candles. With their low-heat wax that is guaranteed not to burn skin if spilled and their lead-free wicks, these candles are also safe for your children and healthier for our air.
And we are now switching over to recycled bags and boxes for your portraits. Our packaging supplier, Rice Studio Supply, just started offering Kraft recycled portrait bags, recycled portrait boxes, and recycled portrait shopper bags. Due to demand for the bags and boxes, we have already been able to switch to these recycled products. We hope to switch over the shopper bags by the end of the year.
