Stampin UP is going Green

The Green trend is here to stay & Stampin' UP is no exception. Stampin' UP demonstrators receive a monthly magazine to help us grow our SU business and stay up to date on the latest trends. In the January issue, there is an article about SU's green stamping. Stampin' UP is using eco-friendly practices in their business, and I wanted to share with you what they have been doing to help the environment. The environment is very important to me. I have always cared about the animals and the environment even before the latest Green trend so I am proud to promote products from a company who shares the same ideals I do regarding our planet. The list below is a list of some of the ways SU takes care of our planet:

*The excess rubber from making the stamps is donated to a non-profit called Courage Reins so the excess doesn't go to waste.

*The wood to make the stamp block is harvested from a tree farm that engages in sustainable practices.

*The cardstock is made with recycled papers so any excess paper is reused into another batch of cardstock. The darker the cardstock color, the more recycled paper is included in that cardstock. This means black cardstock contains the highest percentage of recycled paper.

*The shipping paper SU uses is 100% recycled paper.

*The SU buildings are environmentally friendly because the facilities filter out the harmful pollutants (as a result of making the rubber stamps) from the air. The buildings also have geothermal wells to help keep the temperature in the buildings stable. Lights are on sensors so energy isn't wasted. AND the landscaping minimizes water because SU uses plants native to the area.

*These are just some of the ways SU takes care of our environment.
