:: Green Art Supplies
In the aim to reduce my impact on the environment, as I use up stock of art supplies I want to replace them with environmentally friendly alternatives (i.e. art supplies that are made from recycled materials, organic and not petroleum based, and don’t contain nasty chemicals.) While there are some art supplies I’m not sure I’ll be able to make the switch as they aren’t available in professional grade yet, my hope is over time as the environmental standards on these companies is raised, all the materials I use will have a green alternative available.
So here’s my list of the environmentally friendly art supplies (for professionals and children!) It is work in progress so check back again!
