Green Statement:

Our profession is charged with the care and custody of cultural artifacts.


In the present world taking care of an object for future generations must include taking care of the environment, so there will be future generations.


The present rate at which we are consuming resources is badly damaging our planet, it is not sustainable.


We need to rethink how we are doing business, to shrink individual and business foot print.


We not only need to reduce, reuse and recycle, but redesign and rethink how we are doing things and what we are using.


We must expand our scope, and look beyond the microcosm to the macrocosm.


A Quote from William McDonough, Architect
;
“Sustainability should mean meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations of all living things to meet their own needs”

We begin by making sure the materials utilized specifically within our industry do not degrade the environment, furthermore to talk to manufacturers and set up partnerships with a view to changing the mindset of individuals in general, encouraging new ideas to manage the environmental impact worldwide within our industry.


We would hope that your next trip to buy groceries will evoke a sense of informed choice and that you refuse a plastic carrier bag or plastic bottle of water in favor of the re-useable alternative.
