1. Reduce VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) - VOCs are caused by petroleum-based inks, laminates, varnishes, and adhesives. Air pollution from those compounds greatly increases the risk of asthma attacks, according to the EPA and environmental advocacy groups.
2. Conserve Energy - it’s not just about the printing process, it’s about how the paper is manufactured. Make sure the printer (like Pixxlz.com) uses a paper company that uses natural resources to generate the electricity used to keep the factory going. We use Mohawk: http://www.mohawkpaper.com/
3. Save Trees – find a print company like ourselves that offers 100%PCW (post consumer waste). We’ve managed to keep our prices down to encourage more people to print on 100%PCW.
4. Because we all care!
