I go green at home by composting, bringing my own grocery bags, eating organic almost always and locally when possible, sharing a car, using green house cleaning products.

The way I have a "green" influence in my business is by serving the green business industry with the following results through my products and services:
1. Knowledge of who to involve and how to involve them on projects
2. A fool-proof way to get buy-in when implementing systemic changes
3. A process for finding win/win outcomes for parties with disparate interests
4. Better decision-making processes for high-stakes problems
5. A framework to understand and solve complex problems
6. Tools to manage your time, money, and overwhelm in a rapidly changing industry

Even if we have all the data, science, and good intentions in the world, we won't be able to create lasting change if we can't work effectively together.

I decided to explore Google to see just what was happening with the ‘teak’ industry at the moment.I typed in ‘teak and deforestation’ – and found a number of links to articles which confirm the devastation that deforestation has caused – (drought, death, flooding to name but a few) particularly throughout Indonesia and other areas. Costa Rica seemed to have good press about reforestation! But time will tell.
This was the most recent feature I found – practical things that you can do to assist with deforestation. Yet it’s worth taking a look at the older ones to remind oneself of the devastation.
Perhaps the message of deforestation has been pushed under the carpet for now – and large manufacturers and big brands are happy to continue to push ‘teak’ furniture out of their doors without heavy conscience.
I for one am very happy to be sitting out on my reclaimed, recycled, rustic, eco garden furniture this Summer – and I will continue to happily push our furniture out of the ‘workshop’ with a very clear conscience.

Our hip tees are made from cotton, organic cotton or recycled threads with green designs printed with non-toxic inks that blend into the fabric for a super soft vintage feel. We use recycled paper hangtags, ship in recyclable boxes and buy carbon offsets so shipments are carbon neutral. HumanWear also offers cool eco stickers packs and recycled gift wrapping with personalized note cards. For a little extra love, customers get to choose a FREE eco sticker and designer packaging tape for shipping so the package arrives as a gift.

I try to live mindfully every day. I use as little water as possible, put my food waste in BioBags because I cannot compost at this time, recycle everything I know can be, use flourescent bulbs, reuse anything I can and other little things throughout the day. I also try to educate those around me to change their ways one step at a time or more if they're open to change.

With Healthy Bargains all of the shipping and packing are reused from other orders, I shred junk mail and paper trash to make my own packing materials and I reuse plastic bags.

We are attempting to get rid of our inefficient oil furnace and install geothermal instead. To qualify for a green rebate so we can afford it calls for redoing the windows and insulation

I provide consultation/information to established and new apparel companies who want to know more about the green options in apparel. I promote the use of organic fabrics, cruelty-free materials and work with companies in understanding sustainability and transparency.
As a designer, I try to not to print out much of my art work, only what is needed and I keep the print outs, or I will print only what I need to send to a client. I also use 100% recycled paper and print using ink jet cartridges that can be recycled. I also send a lot of PDF files via email so sometimes there is no need to print out items.
I also promote textile design and graphic design on apparel using either water based inks or digital printing; I am always learning new options and alternatives each day and I do my best to share that with others.
