I’m not one to strongly promote commercial products on my blog, but occasionally you come across something that really presses all the right buttons. I was recently running a a workshop where one of the delegates talked about their great, award-winning product – naturepaint (www.naturepaint.com).
Basically this is paint that does all that you would expect of a traditional, off-the-shelf paint – but with all the harmful components removed, and supplied in powder form. All you have to do is to add ordinary tap water. That seemed like a good move to start with, but when you look at little deeper at what this means, it gets even better.
- No nasty chemicals or solvents.
- As you are not shipping any water, it used less fuel to ship – less carbon.
- Safe to ship – it’s the only paint you can send by post in the UK!
- No need for expensive metal or plastic cans and the environmental costs they incur.
I could go on, but I suggest taking a look at their website and let them tell their own story. Oh, and the company takes sustainability beyond its products, into its whole ethos.
Keep up the good work guys – keep thinking out of the box – or rather out of the can.
