We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children

Native American proverb

Our actions

We don't make promises, we make actions.

Caring for families is the motivation for all that we do. Better, caring for life is our drive. We live in the most unique planet with a rich biodiversity that is being destroyed intensely particularly in the past 70 years.

Most of this destruction comes from over consumption and bad production practices. We work tirelessly to reduce the negative impacts to the environment of our books, workshops and stationary throughout the supply chain.

Sustainability starts by having things that last reducing the need to produce more and to avoid waste. So, all of our designs are made with that in mind. They will last for years and can be passed on to friends when you no longer uses them. Alternatively, you can always recycle them.

We also know we need to replenish what we've taken already. Restoration is key for a future where all can thrive from the smallest ant to the brightest human and enormous blue whale. We partnered with One Tree Planted and donate 1% of our profit to fund their forest restoration projects around the world.

Most of our products are made of paper. We always source recycled paper first, then FSC certified sources.

Books and stationary are also shipped, which is responsible for tons of CO2 emissions causing problems to our air quality and temperature change in our planet.

Lastly but not less important is the enormous amount of energy and water AI tools use. We never use them to create, brainstorm or have ideas. We only use AI tools in two instances: when we cannot prevent from using it such as searching engines and auto-correction on certain software, and to help us fine tune technical ecommerce requirements.


Production

  • lasting materials
  • purposeful use
  • local manufacturers*
  • international manufacturers when there's no available local supplier
  • carbon neutral shipping when available

Operations

  • lean infrastructure renting spaces that already exists such as co-working, school classrooms and library rooms.
  • limited use of AI systems.

Waste

  • reusable materials
  • recyclable materials

Restoration

  • We partner with One Tree Planted and donate 1% of our profit to restore the environment.

* paper products are made in Australia, we're tirelessly trying to get a local supplier for our stencils.
