Question 7

What is your environmental impact?

Accepted Answer

I’m so glad you asked! Yes! As a high school biology and environmental science teacher, thinking about how my products have an impact on the environment is always in the forefront of my mind when I source my materials. I try to be as environmentally conscious as I can as well as work with small local businesses. All of my letterpress projects are printed on 100% tree free paper - it is 100% pure cotton, which is a byproduct of the textile industry.
