I would like to commend October, a UK garment print and embroidery one stop shop, not unlike ourselves. They frequently update their blog – http://octoberonline.wordpress.com/
– with a variety of interesting and relevant topics for the decoration consumer. Understandable, their target market is Brits, but their information has world-wide appeal.
Some articles of particular interest for any Greenie (which, these days, is becoming a fashion statement as well as a way of life)
How Green Is My Ink
A-Z of Ethical Terms
Next, I’d like to examine a few articles which demonstrate an extent of truth about the nature of screen printing
Chopper Eco Couture … and Screen Printing
In this lengthy article, Michael explores screen printing as a process and how it has been made “more eco-friendly” by Chopper Couture.
Printing Process Descriptions
In this straightforward, technical and slightly boring website, the exact process of screen printing is described with little embellishments. NB: May be a little hard to understand if you are unfamiliar with the terminology.
It appears there isn’t much on environmental screen printing in Australia, although I am going to continue looking around. If need be, perhaps sites will be created to fill this need.

Newcastle Herald readers in Cardiff and certain parts of the North Coast will have seen Zulu Graphics owners, Mark and Diana Millgate, along with their young children, Julian and Lexie, on the front page of today's edition as they participated in Earth Hour on Saturday night.
To view the full front page, please go to http://www.zulugraphics.com.au/newspaper_310308.pdf
Other readers will see a photo of a car on the front page, with the Millgates in the top right hand corner and a story on page 3.

Here's to Earth Hour 08!
Last night, between 8pm and 9pm (well, we stretched it to midnight!), our lights were off at Zulu Graphics. In fact, we made sure all of our electronics were switched off. We had no lights, no computers, no air compressors and no dryers.
Not only does it feel great to be getting alongside other companies and individuals to help change our planet for the better, but it is good to get behind an Australian creation and help it reach a global scale.
Here's hoping someone in power will act upon this mass example.
