Chicago Web Design, Logo Designs and Letterhead Services, eco-Hosting and printing

Since our acceptance into Co-op America’s Green Business Network™, we have begun to calculate data regarding the reduction of our business' carbon footprint. We are able to focus on two areas, hosting and printing based on clients green printing solutions and eco-hosting. The print calculations are generated from a report by our associate green printer and is achieved by replacing PC recycled paper in place of virgin fiber. With all of our events, we have used utensils/cups made of corn products and bio-degradable paper plates and napkins. At our last event through Hand Harvested, we distributed 350 energy efficient light-bulbs to Chicago residents.
