There is a lot of talk in the industry lately about “going green” and what it really means. If I offer a customer the option of using a Low VOC paint does that mean I am a “Green” painting company? I think not! I believe it is more of an overall philosophy and mindset. A good example is Eco Painting of Toronto Canada, George Z has often commented on using Green practices over at Painttalk and he recently announced a new company introspective, “Walk the Talk” and I think he has it right! So does Paul over at Peck Drywall with his recycling efforts.
So are you a Green Painter?
Hey, we wrote “green” articles on the same day. Great minds and all that. I definitely things there’s more to it — from using recycled paper on the products you do use to marketing & packaging (i.e., business cards, letterhead, shipping supplies) to having a website to cut down on paper marketing to using a hybrid for consults to the lightbulbs you use in the studio…there are many ways a company can reduce their imprint in addition to using eco-friendly products. It’s a great question.
I saw that, I loved the pressure washing stencils! Feel free to post the links in your comments, here it is for anyone who wants to see, http://www.fauxology.com/2011/06/eco-friendly-stenciling/
