Environment

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.
