With just a little creativity, stoles can be choir stoles, short visitation stoles, graduation stoles, group stoles with virtually any pattern you like or can think of.
Artists, businesses and everyone can help to reduce their carbon footprints. Here are just a few things that we do:
No printer cartridges for our smaller printers: Only bulk ink is used so no cartridges have to be used.
High capacity cartridges are used for our largest printer: They holds twice the amount of ink and the cartridges are recycled when they are used.
Packing: We can doubly recycle with this. We've gone to using plastic grocery back to pack all of our stoles with. They are soft, provide great cushioning and when they get to their destination they can be recycled again!
Invoices are saved electronically. (One copy of the invoice is sent with the purchase in case the address on the box is ever marred.)
Bills for internet purchased are saved electronically and nothing is ever pritned out. (That also means no bulky binders for saving receipts, no binders that have to be purchased, no storage problems.) Receipts for physical purchases are scanned and saved electronically.
Bank transactions are completed electronically: no envelopes, no gas to go to the bank.
Bill Payment: All electronic. No stamps, no envelopes, no gas to the post office.
If you can think of other ideas, just let us know and we will feature your idea here on AFTS!
