I have partnered with EcoEnclose to provide sustainable shipping and packaging materials whenever possible. These shipping solutions consist of recyclable products, post-consumer content materials, and biodegradable resources. Examples of EcoEnclose products I use are their corrugated bubble, rigid mailers, note cards, and tuck boxes. For more details on each, scroll down the page to view each product description. 

Even better than recycling materials, is reducing the initial use and need for them. Whenever possible, I try to reduce any unnecessary packaging or one-time use items. For example, when you order a print from me, there's a decent chance you'll receive it in a box that looks like it's been used before. That's because it probably has been. I save my boxes and reuse them as many times as possible, and I really encourage you to reuse any shipping materials - boxes, corrugated bubble, rigid mailers - that you receive from me. These shouldn't be one-time use products, and we can make a big environmental impact each time we reuse one.

We all know that plastic is awful for the environment, especially wildlife. That's why my greeting cards come naked (gasp!). Don't worry, they're family friendly :) A naked greeting card is simply one that doesn't come in a plastic sleeve. I'm currently researching plastic-free shipping materials for my cards, which I'll be rolling out soon, as well. Many products we all order often come in plastic packaging, so when possible, I try to partner with companies that reduce their plastic packaging or give me the option to opt out of it.

Admittedly, this is one area I'm still trying to make strides in. Plastic is everywhere and hard to rid yourself of sometimes, but I am constantly looking for better solutions. If you know of any products that could help me in my quest to be plastic-free, please let me know!

In my commitment to reducing my carbon footprint and to give you peace of mind with each purchase, I am partnered with the Carbonfund.org to offset the carbon emissions derived from all of my shipping.
