think green!

 

Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children.
 - Kenyan Proverb

Here are some of the things we do at soul-flower.com to be green. If you have other ideas of green practices, please let us know.  

  • We carry eco-friendly clothing items, many of which contain organic cotton, recycled fibers, hemp and bamboo.
  • We create many environmentally friendly clothing items through our sister company circle tees.
  • We support fair trade organizations to ensure that local artisans work in a healthy environment and receive a fair wage.
  • We carry items made from reusable items and 100% recycled items.
  • We offset our climate footprint through Carbon Fund to support renewable energy and reforestation projects that reduce CO2.
  • We reuse paper, boxes and envelopes whenever possible. Don't be surprised to see your items packaged in reused boxes or envelopes...remember reusing is even better than recycling!
  • We are Green Office Certified through the Greenline Paper Co., which means we use energy wisely, we recycle, we use recycled products & we are overall environmentally savvy.
  • We use Priority Mail boxes (which are post consumer recycled) and rarely add packaging materials. But, when we do, we reuse paper & other items we already have.
  • All day-to-day printing is done on recycled paper.
  • We recycle all unusable paper, cardboard, newsprint, plastic, metal and glass.
  • We recycle unusable Tyvec envelopes through an agreement with Dupont, who uses them to make park benches and playground equipment.
  • We print our catalog using soy-based inks on recycled paper with at least 10% post consumer content.
  • We plant two trees for every one tree used in our catalog production thru a collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation.
  • We make regular donations to organizations working hard to further environmental efforts, including the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, Green America, Arbor Day Foundation, and CarbonFund.

Please do what you can!
