This is my dedication to my art and our planet. To produce earth friendly art with recycled and renewable materials. I pledge to continually search for new ways to make my art so it is the most eco-friendly creation without compromising it's beauty. Do you have a specific idea for subject matter and color? Please feel free to contact me for custom Green Art Squared creations.
ECO-FACTS:
More than 1/3 of garbage in the U.S. comes from paper and cardboard.
9/10 newspapers are thrown away instead of recycled.
For every 2000 pounds of paper (1 ton) recycled, we save 7,000 gallons of water free from chemicals.
Recycled paper requires 64% less energy than making paper from virgin wood pulp, and can save many trees.
Every ton of paper that is recycled saves 17 trees.
The amount of wood and paper we throw away is enough to heat 50 million homes for 20 years.
The U.S. is by far the worlds largest producer and consumer of paper. Per capita U.S. paper consumption is over six times greater than the world average.
84 percent of all household waste can be recycled.
