Do we care about “Green”? We do, begorrah!
Some folks think that the greenest you need to go in any given year is to celebrate a wee bit on St. Patrick’s Day.
We go much further than that at Black Dog. We go Green Initiative.
Y’see, we want the Earth to be a fine place a long ways down the road for the kids of today and tomorrow and beyond.
And we know it’s hard to keep a good world unless you keep doing something to keep it good and make it better.
So here’s where we have started:
- ALL the energy for our building and equipment is 100% solar. Gathered right outside our doors, in our parking lot. We aren’t using any environmentally costly cabling running from here to some “special spot” in northern California or Oregon. Arizona has a lot of sunshine.
- Our printing inks are all ZERO VOC inks. Why not?
- ALL our paper waste gets recycled. Again, why not?
- We use only paper with a minimum of 10% Post-Consumer Waste. Makes sense, right?
- We recycle ALL our lithographic printing plates. Why dig up more ore than we need to?
There’s more coming up. That’s because we think responsibility is actually a cool thing. Why should responsibility be filled simply by printing well?
Consistent, practical idealism in the pressroom extends to our relationships with people and the Earth we live on.
