Reduce our carbon footprint

The studio currently uses the equivalent amount of carbon as driving three passenger vehicles for a year..I want to to reduce that!

Offset our carbon usage

So far the studio has offset the same amount of carbon used in four long haul flights and I want to continue with that!

Promote sustainability

The studio already plants 25 trees for each wonderful family who visits the studio. Let's see if we can all do a little more!

Our pledge to 'the world'

Making sure my boys and their children (and their children after) have a planet to enjoy!!!

  • To have a carbon positive impact by switching to 100% renewable energy sources by the end of 2021
  • To reduce the studio's carbon usage by 10% by the end of 2022
  • To continue carbon offsetting and increase it to 80% of carbon used by the end of 2022

Some of the things we do already!

Every small change can make a big difference!

  • All packaging materials are either recycled or reused
  • I have carefully resourced the products I offer, making sure they come from master craftsmen in the UK, who are as committed as me to sustainability
  • I now hand deliver all artwork collections, setting aside a specific day and planning my route to reduce both my mileage and reducing your mileage too
  • The studio has migrated to paper-free systems wherever possible. Most of our communications are now in digital format to reduce the amount of unnecessary paper usage and also cut down on the need to post items
  • The studio plants 25 trees for every wonderful family who visits the studio. They receive a link to be able to watch their trees grow and blossom with their little ones
  • Read our full sustainability policy here.

Did you know?

Don't forget to turn the

lights off!

By turning off the lights for just

2 hours extra per week you can save the same amount of energy as charging 128 mobile phones!

Recycling DOES make a difference!

Recycling one aluminium can will save enough energy to power a TV for up to 3 hours!

You can offset your carbon!

Offsetting our carbon footprint by planting trees is helping our planet, and it's fun too! If you use the link here and sign up to Ecologi you can get an additional 25 sparkly trees!
