Environmental Awareness
For me, nature and it's conservation it's really important.
As a wild life and animal lover, I do art also as a way to transmit this passion to other people around the globe and convey the importance of protecting wild animal populations.
I'm aware that my business generates plastic and other types of waste and also carbon emissions caused by the transport of goods, therefore:
- I always reuse and recycle all the plastic, cardboard boxes and other packaging in which my products arrive at my studio. For this reason your order will sometimes be shipped in reused packaging (after being cleaned and desinfected).
- Damaged or old products are not thrown away, they are sold at a discount in my store, sent as gifts with orders or donated to organizations, such as animal shelters, to raise funds to help animals in need.
- I also accept donations from businesses or stores that are closing, or recycle and restore furniture that would otherwise go to the trash. For example, the tissue paper in which many of the orders are wrapped was a donation from a store that was going to close.
- I also donate some the things that my business doesn't longer need to organizations that could use them.
- My car, which is the vehicle I use for my business, is eco-friendly.
I encourage you to recycle and reutilice as much as possible the packaging of the orders you receive from me.
Also, I'm a volunteer in an exotic pets shelter and I rescue domestic animals abandoned on the streets and find them a new homes.
