1 tree is planted per 1 RiverSongHeart art print sold.

I'm proud of my partnership with the wonderful TreeSisters Charity. For every RiverSongHeart print that you purchase, one tree will be planted by TreeSisters. I'm embedding restoration into RiverSongHeart, which I feel called to do. Because of the ecological crisis we face, the rapid deforestation of our beautiful planet, the loss of our ancient trees and the animals that call them home. Also because my business is paper-led.

“We fund the planting of trees to restore ecosystems and livelihoods whilst increasing protection against the extremes of climate change in multiple regions of the tropical forest belt. We do this in ways that recreate and restore natural forest ecosystems using indigenous species, fostering local knowledge and skills, and promoting women's participation. We strive to do it intelligently, appropriately, respectfully and successfully.” TreeSisters.org

Here’s an update on my sustainability progress to date

🌿All packaging remains fully plastic free, is recycled and/or recyclable. My tissue wrap is fully biodegradable.

🧡My cards are now printed on 100% recycled card-stock. I wish I’d insisted on this from the start... All art prints are on 100% cotton rag, acid-free.

🌿Together, we’ve planted hundreds of trees with my reforestation partner TreeSisters since January 2021.

🧡I’ve switched to recycled brown envelopes permanently.

🌿Made-to-order - I don’t hold stock, the prints and cards only get made when you order them, so no surplus.

🧡I walk to my printers, post office etc. As I’m lucky to live walking distance away 🥰

🌹I’ll strive to do something to keep improving my sustainability wherever I can. I want to show that paper-led businesses can be tree conscious. We must be tree conscious. This is an ongoing journey and I’m learning as I go. I’m determined to keep my footprint as small as possible as I continue on this exciting path…
