Project Description
We’re updating organicARTS’ profile!
Check back soon to find out what this great company is doing to help our environment.
organicARTS
organicARTS is an educational charity that promotes the arts and rural issues through educational visits and walks, classes, workshops, community projects, exhibitions and performances. These take place at West Town Farm and in the wider community.
Company Mission Statement
organicARTS recognises the importance of climate change, reduction of resources, and the issues related to these which affect our due care for the environment. We are committed to being an environmentally responsible organisation, understanding that this is an ongoing and continuous process. We will seek to reduce the amount of energy and other resources we consume and will work with our staff, volunteers and participants to achieve this. We will promote environmentally responsible ways of working in our local community.
Working greener
Not only is recycling a priority but reducing our intake of single use products is a necessity. We use natural materials and things we grow to run creative projects, rather than buy new materials. We use willow to create sculptures, baskets and wreaths; flowers and plants to make natural dyes and flower prints, and wood to make stools. Volunteers grow food and then make soup for lunch which we all eat. All cleaning products are minimally effective on the environment and we use recycled paper to print on and always print double sided when possible. We have plants in our office to naturally filter the air. All refreshments are fair trade and sustainable sourced.
