AOIFE VAN LINDEN TOL STUDIO SUSTAINABILITY
CARBON ZERO STUDIO
We offset our carbon footprint each month via the many incredible projects Ecolgi support.
Their approach is to both plant trees, and invest in many other carbon saving projects
including fighting to preserve our precious rainforests.
It's important to recognise that simply carbon offsetting your carbon footprint is not the answer to stopping climate change.
it's just one part of the puzzle. We must also reduce our carbon usage, reduce waste,
stop using single use plastics, switch to renewable energy, reduce our population and
save and expand the wild natural habitats this Earth relies on.
BUT it is a fantastic, easy and super affordable way to start and does have a huge impact.
Find out more about how and go Carbon Zero now for just £4.70 per month.
By using the link below Ecologi will fund an additional 30 trees for you and for me!
OFFICIAL CHARITIES
The charities we are focused on support what I believe are the fundamentals of how we are going to save the planet.
Conservation is key but education for women is also vital.
PLANTLIFE
Plantlife is a UK based charity who work across the globe with partners to
promote the conservation of wild plants for the benefit of all. Plantlife International was one of the organisations that developed the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation
MALALA FUND
Investing in girls’ education is good for our planet.
The Brookings Institution calls secondary schooling for girls the most cost-effective and best investment against climate change.
Research also suggests that girls’ education reduces a country’s vulnerability to natural disasters.
At this moment, nearly 130 million girls are out of school. Even more are in school but not learning.
Malala Fund is focused on accelerating progress — challenging systems,
policies and practices so all girls can access 12 years of free, safe, quality education.

PACKAGING
We only purchase recyclable packaging.
Recycling still takes a lot of energy and transport so we aim to reuse and repurpose packaging from our own suppliers so don't be surprised if your package has branding from another company on it.
Any packaging we do have to buy will have been produced from recycled materials itself or from sustainable sources.
We don't buy or use plastic packaging products unless it is being repurposed from packaging that was sent to us.
We use Acid-Free Glassine paper sleeves for protecting smaller works which is 100% biodegradable and compostable.
ENERGY
Our studio uses a green energy supplier for Gas & Electric.
Bulb rated 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
Bulb provide members with 100% renewable electricity from solar, wind and hydro. Their gas is 100% carbon neutral too. They offset the emissions from the gas they supply by supporting carbon reduction projects around the world. Plus, they are the biggest buyer of green gas for homes in the UK so a chunk of their gas mix comes from renewable sources, like food or farm waste, too.

TRANSPORT
Public transport and trains are used when travel where possible.
Any carbon emissions from all road transport and flights are offset with Ecologi.
WASTE
We make very little waste during our working process.
We operate a leave no trace policy when working on site. We clear and remove all
our own waste unless the site has the recycling requirements needed.
All waste that is recyclable in our borough is recycled.
The is a very small amount of plastic used in the creation of some works we aim to find a suitable recycling partner for in 2021.
