FAQS

What is this all about?

My purpose in creating 365 designs to start a visual communication campaign touting the importance of using Less Single-Use Plastics was my  attempt to "Ride it Forward.”  I thought a T-shirt with the <LSUP logo, or a market bag with a message to "Stop ’n Think” might be what it would take to get others to join the movement to make the change and to keep the conversation going about the important principle of using <LSUP.

Why Less and Not Zero Waste?

I commend those who are living at zero waste, but I know that's not possible for everyone. I also believe there is great wisdom in the proverb: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” So I choose as my mantra LESS believing that if many would take that approach toward reducing the use of plastic, great strides could be made. 

Why sustainable products?

Synthetic fabrics are contributing to microplastics in our waters, which, in turn, are polluting the oceans and rivers, and other waterways, and these microplastics are harmful to humans and aquatic creatures. Organic cotton, on the other hand, when grown in the traditional way, uses natural water resources without toxic pesticides. 

For the water bottles, I’ve offered only stainless steel because they are sanitary and withstand the test of time.

All stickers are printed using environmentally friendly Eco-Solvent Inks. And although they are of vinyl construction, I think the trade-off they offer in terms of spreading this message is a good one. They are high quality and maintain their looks & colors even against the elements, so they will have a long life. Soon I will be offering 100% compostable wood stickers as well. 

Prices/Quality

The price of organic fabric products and stainless steel bottles is high because you are paying for a quality item that you will have for a long time. I am not interested in offering any of my designs on cheap products that will contribute to more waste. That certainly would defeat the point!  I promote shopping at thrift stores, using what you have, or purchasing high quality.

Purchase a stainless steel water bottle in a design of your choice if will help you to remember to bring it along. It will stand up to many washings and outings. 

Purchase a high-quality T-shirts or hoodies to "wear the message".

Buy a sticker to help promote. 

There is no need to buy anything from me in order to be part of the movement, But I'd love you to sign up for my email which is free so you can follow along with the designs for inspiration. 

Please Note: All the products I offer are created and printed by POD (print-on-demand) partners. This is the most sustainable way to offer them so that there is no waste. I create the original designs and choose the type, the colors, and the layout of the designs. If you place an order the item will be shipped from the printing manufacturer. Shipping times can be slow. I appreciate your patience.
