ComicWeb is going Green

The ComicWeb is Going Green

Well, we are going more to a sickly shade of green then truly 100% eco-friendly, green, but we are working to get there.

The main change we are making is investing in carbon offsetting. We will donate money to Native Energy, the organization recommended by http://www.climatecrisis.net/ each month to offset our carbon emissions. However, we realize that carbon offsetting is not as good as just not putting carbon into the environment in the first place, but it is a good first step. In addition we are:.

Using recycled packing materials in our shipments
Using recycled envelopes in our shipments
For each shipment we send out, we add 50 cents to the carbon offset amount we pay each month. (To be honest, we have no idea how much we should offset for a shipment via the postal service. If anyone knows of an equation or calculator that we can use, please let us know.)
We recycle defective CDs and other computer products.
Comic Books are both wasteful, AND a good example of reuse. Each month hundreds of comic book titles are published by DC and Marvel, not to mention all of the other companies. Does the environment really need a 5 issue mini-series on the Dazzler? On the other hand, comic book readers generally don't throw away comics. So, if you wanted, you can pick up the original Dazzler series (from the early 1980s) on ebay. So we encourage people to read and resell their comics, and yes, if your comic collection is too embarassing to put into the .25 cent bin at a convention, maybe it is time to recycle them.. In addition, we will be exploring the concept of comic books in pdf format.
In general, we will just be much more aware of our eco-actions and take our impact on the environment into consideration (reduce, reuse, recycle) along with the millions our business makes.
