You can incorporate environmentally responsible decisions into your design by considering the sustainability aspects of your papermaker and printer.

“I feel best about my projects that incorporate green components. I play a role in the health of the environment, and designing pieces that are printed on recycled papers is one way I can make a difference.”

Tip: Seek out paper that is manufactured by companies with a commitment to minimal manufacturing impact and printers who use recycled papers and environmentally responsible printing practices.
