We’re serious about sustainability, and honest about our impact and what we’re doing to limit it.
We keep shop in the amazing Burnside Rocket, a LEED Platinum-rated mixed use building in Portland, Oregon. The Rocket features an “edible roof,” an on-site well that supplies the building’s water, and countless features that reduce the building’s energy usage and community impact.
We design and code on Energy Star-certified and highly recyclable computers and power them with wind-sourced electricity. Apple is unique among computer manufacturers in its dedication to and accounting of its impact on the environment.
We host our website (and yours, if you like) on carbon-balanced web severs. Servers are provided by MediaTemple and offset by TerraPass.
We run a nearly paperless office, and the paper goods we do use are recycled before and after our use.
The Web Design Sketchbooks we sell are are printed with soy ink on 100% recycled stock and use chipboard covers.
We bike to the office, and when it’s too grim outside to bike, we use public or carbon-offset hybrid transportation.
So we know it’s not easy. That’s why if you run a business that’s serious about protecting the environment, or you, like us, are a member of the Portland Sustainable Business Network, we’d like to offer you a 10% discount on any complete website we build for you. Just mention this offer when you contact us.
