New print on the block. Nature and folk inspired.⁠ ⁠ Here I'm using a soft vinyl, which is easy to carve an useful if I chose to print on an object as it's flexible. I've feeling this could be a pattern. Who knows!!⁠ ⁠ #scarlettandvalentine (at Sheffield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbwY_6bO39B/?utm_medium=tumblr

Strawberry poster print.⁠ ⁠ These A5 posters are printed on carbon balanced paper stock and are super CUTE!! ⁠ ⁠ #scarlettandvalentine #s&v⁠ ⁠ WHAT IS CARBON BALANCED PAPER?⁠ A paper becomes Carbon Balanced when the average emissions associated with its production are offset by the global conservation charity World Land Trust (WLT).⁠ ⁠ WLT achieve this by protecting threatened habitats that would otherwise have been lost, avoiding the release of stored carbon. This also enables the regeneration of degraded habitats, which gradually re-absorb atmospheric CO2.⁠ ⁠ These habitats are being destroyed or degraded at an unprecedented rate, releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere and contributing to between 10 and 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions. https://carbonbalancedpaper.com/about/ (at Sheffield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbfvGPRlyd0/?utm_medium=tumblr

All my cards are printed on Carbon Balanced paper. Today is World Wildlife Day and here is how carbon balanced paper is doing its bit. ⁠ ⁠ Taken from www.carbonbalancedpaper.com newsletter:⁠ ⁠ Celebrating World Wildlife Day⁠ Today is the UN’s World Wildlife Day, a celebration of all endangered species of wild fauna and flora around the world.⁠ ⁠ Continued loss of species, habitats and ecosystems threatens all life on Earth, including us. People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet all our needs, from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing. Millions of people also rely on nature as the source of their livelihoods and economic opportunities.⁠ ⁠ In 2022, World Wildlife Day will drive the debate towards the imperative need to reverse the fate of the most critically endangered species, to support the restoration of their habitats and ecosystems and to promote their sustainable use by humanity.⁠ ⁠ For many of these species, forests are their homes. Yet, since 1990, it is estimated that some 420 million hectares of forest have been lost – an area 17x greater than the United Kingdom. Forests are the lungs of the Earth, producing around 30% of our oxygen. Forests provide habitats for 80% of amphibian species, 75% of bird species and 68% of mammal species.⁠ ⁠ Carbon Balanced Print and Paper, in partnership with World Land Trust, funds ecosystem protection and restoration projects in Vietnam, Mexico, Ecuador and Guatemala. Here there are some incredible, yet endangered and critically endangered species, whom without this essential protection could disappear forever.
