The Charlotte chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) has launched a series of events called “Eat Your Greens” to help designers and clients take a more environmentally-sustainable approach to business.
Printers and marketing service providers can offer events and advice as well. Here are a few examples of companies that are doing exactly that:
Spirit Graphics, Chula Vista CA, winner of the WhatTheyThink Going Green Award in 2009 for "Thought Leadership," offers their clients the Green Essentials, their green printing practices.
L+L Printers in San Diego and Carlsbad CA helps their clients go green with their I Luv Trees sustainability initiative.
PrintWest, Woodinville WA, offers the Green Assist Program to share the information, research and resources they have uncovered to make their own business more environmentally friendly, with other like-minded businesses.
Belk Printing Technologies, Pineville NC, created Extreme Green as a choice for their clients to give them options to help do their part in the green movement.
Please add your company - or the names of companies you know - and their programs in the comment box below. Let's make a list of the many ways printers are helping designers and print buyers "eat their greens."
