Why we joined Friends of the Earth
Here at Studio 77, we believe in doing our part to save the planet.
We understand that climate change is a real threat, and we want to be part of the solution. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to operate in an environmentally responsible way, and we are proud to be part of a movement of businesses that are taking action.
We chose to partner with Friends of the Earth because we share their values and their commitment to creating a sustainable future. They are an international environmental organisation that campaigns on a range of issues, including climate change, pollution, and the protection of biodiversity. They work to bring about systemic change through advocacy, education, and grassroots activism.
By partnering with Friends of the Earth, we can make a meaningful contribution to the fight against climate change. Our donations help to fund their vital campaigns and programs, such as their work to transition to a renewable energy future, their efforts to protect our oceans and forests, and their advocacy for policies that address the root causes of environmental degradation.
Since partnering with them, we have raised almost £7000 by donating £150 for each website design or branding project that we do.
But our partnership with Friends of the Earth is about more than just financial contributions. It's about working together to create a better future for all of us. We are committed to reducing our own environmental footprint, and we are constantly looking for ways to improve our processes and practices. We believe that by leading by example, we can inspire others to take action too.
Design can be a powerful tool for communication and advocacy, and we want to use our skills to support the causes that we believe in. Here are just a few examples to celebrate the incredible work our clients do.
Eco Print
EcoPrint is designed to help accelerate change and to reduce the damage to the environment by connecting and educating print technology leaders and print service providers through events, content and conversations.
We were thrilled to work with EcoPrint by building an attractive yet user-friendly Squarespace website, designed to make it quick and efficient for printing and manufacturing industries to find up-to-date information and sign up for upcoming events.
EcoPrint are going to the source of the carbon footprint of printing and manufacturing industries to make quicker and bigger changes, but there’s a lot we can do at home, too. Simple changes like using refillable vessels, opting for recycled and recyclable products and just being mindful of how many needless one-use items we use!
My Veggie Bubba
My Veggie Bubba creates authentic, nutritious Indian-inspired plant-based meals for babies and toddlers, making mealtime healthy & easy. Founder, Nital, bought us on to create a new brand, complete with packaging, print and a Shopify website design.
Not only are all My Veggie Bubba meals plant-based, but they promote organic ingredients, sustainable packaging and making baby food from scratch by making their recipes available for free.
Adapting your diet to be more plant-based could reduce your carbon footprint from food by up to 73%, a University of Oxford study found.
However, even if you do not want to go fully vegan, campaigns such as Meatless Monday or Veganuary can make a bigger difference than you may think.
Check out the branded colouring pages we designed for My Veggie Bubba!
Uhuru
Uhuru Botanicals are a Natural and Organic skincare range that boasts organic, vegan and ethical products. We worked with them to refresh their brand and design their packaging- emulating Uhuru’s values- with one of our branding boot camps.
Using natural ingredients and choosing organic, sustainable and ethical companies for your cosmetics and skincare is far less harmful to the environment- and these companies often promote recycled or reusable packaging!
Trash Hero
Trash Hero is an energetic, volunteer-led movement that drives change within communities around the world, motivating and supporting them to clean and prevent plastic waste.
They do this by facilitating over 150 chapters that regularly clean up coastal and public spaces, not just to conserve these beautiful spaces and the wildlife that inhabit them, but also to raise awareness and display first hand how bad the plastic crisis is.
We have attended various chapter clean-ups and really appreciate the time that people put in every Sunday to aid this important cause.
We donate 5% of our total website template sales to Trash Hero.
So, when you purchase your new Squarespace website template, you’ll also be donating to support a charity that aims to educate and inspire the next generation of eco-conscious people.
Ultimately, we are proud of the companies we work for, and our partnership with Friends of the Earth is about creating a better world for ourselves, our clients, and future generations. We believe that by working together, we can make a real difference in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation.
