New Coalition Formed To Promote High-Speed Rail, Indie Printing's there for the Launch!

We’ve been fortunate enough to work with Downtown L.A.’s Sustainability Council for a little over a year now. Working closely with people who realize that environmental responsibility means everything, not just what’s immediately in front of them has really helped us grow as a company. It really assisted us in raising the bar from the norm of soy-based inks and recycled paper printing to being more innovative, and thinking about how we can grow those now common industry standards, and do things better in all areas of our professional and personal lives.

A good example of the progressive clients we are working with is the newly formed community coalition promoting the high-speed rail in California. Put together by the Los Angeles Chapters of the American Institute of Architects, the American Planning Association as well as local community members, business owners, local governments and universities, Rail LA is formed.

Rail LA’s mission is simple, “…ensure that the people of California benefit from the nation’s first viable high-speed train network.” Rail LA seeks to reduce traffic and carbon emissions and introduce innovative and sustainable urban design to California. A series of events will be taking place this summer. For more information you can visit: www.railLA.org

RailLA knows a thing or two about eco-friendly printing. RailLA secretary Ashley Z. Hand requested that we print all of their business cards on FSC certified paper stock with a high level of post-sonsumer waste, and soy based inks. Walkin the walk, that’s what we like to hear.

RailLA will be happy to know that their business cards will be printed on FSC certified stock made of 75% recycled content, sourced from the U.S.  Maybe the nice folks at RailLA will be impressed when we show up to deliver their job in a hybrid. Who knows, 10 years from now we could be doing deliveries in a bullet train!
