- We rarely add packaging materials into boxes, but if we do it’s all reused
- We print on recycled paper (your invoice is recycled!)
- We offset our climate footprint through Carbon Fund
- We switch off all stereos, speakers, and lights at the end of the day
- We only heat our large warehouse room while we’re in there
- We have a community fridge that encourages us to bring our lunch
