- we are a partner with prAna in their Natural Power Initiative

- we offer towels for drying hands
- we sell organic clothing and eco-friendly mats
- we switched our waiting area lighting to compact fluorescent light bulbs

- since we are downtown - many of our students walk or bike to class - thank you!
 

Our next step:  We would like to reduce the number of copies we get for schedule and flyers.  Here's where you come in - if you have easy access to the Internet - please consider using the Internet as your primary way to access information for studio updates and do not take paper schedules or flyers.  Our website is always up-to-date with the most recent information and changes, including our schedule, when teachers are covering for one another, upcoming events, etc.  If you do need to take a schedule, notice that they are now 1/2 a sheet - our effort to reduce paper usage.

 

Thank you for all you do - let's all contribute so we have a better world to leave our children and their children... generations to come will appreciate our effort!

We may have missed noting additional ways in which we reduce our human footprint and will add things as we realize that.  If you have suggestions on how our community can be more green, please let us know.  We'll also use this page to bring awareness to organizations that are contributing to the health of our environment.
 

FEATURED THIS MONTH

As my daughter was researching diapers to use for her new baby - she knew that using disposable diapers full time was out of the question particularly since the average disposable takes about 500 years to break down in a landfill.  (When she does use disposable diapers, she uses Seventh Generation.)  She considered and tried cloth diapers and the baby decided she didn't like these.  In her research (which was very thorough and resulted in too much information to provide here) to find the right diaper for her baby and the environment, she discovered gdiapers and has had success with them.  They are breathable and there is no chlorine, no latex, no perfumes, no inks or dyes.  And you can flush them, put them in the compost or toss 'em (and they break down in the land fill).  For more information, check out the website.
