Recent studies by The Climate Change Project have shown that increased carbon dioxide levels in sea water are having a devastating effect on coral reefs and their inhabitants. It seems nothing is safe in the oceans and even the adorable clownfish (made famous in the Disney and Pixar film Finding Nemo) are being affected as higher levels of CO2 in the water is impacting on the fishes’ hearing which is making it hard for them to hear and escape from predators. Although climate change is a regular fixture in the news, it seems not enough is yet being done to prevent the devastating effects of CO2.
Here at Purely Digital we believe in doing things right which means we are taking responsibility for the affect our business has on the climate. We use a HP Indigo Digital Press that uses recycled ink which means oil usage is reduced by nearly half and the consumables from the HP Indigo Digital Press are recycled and reconditioned (as are the ink cartridges from our desktop and large format printers). The bonus for our customers is that they get the outstanding print quality from the HP Indigo Digital Press with the peace of mind that their order won’t be contributing to climate change. Most of the paper we use comes from managed forests and we’ve recently added Mowhawk Fine Papers Inc. to our suppliers list who match 100% of their energy usage with energy generated by windpower.
We’re EasyGreen Certified which means every unit of energy we use is matched by a unit generated from renewable sources and this is then fed back to the National Grid resulting in 100% of the carbon emissions from our site being offset. Outside of the office we also try to do our bit so we are partnering with UPS who will take care of our delivery needs with their carbon neutral shipping option.
