http://www.catchandreleasegraphics.com Nature of Business: Graphic Design - Specializing in small business identity development. Mission: Using the power of creativity to promote a happy, healthy, sustainable future. Relation to Your Community: Like so many, Catch & Release Graphics is a small design studio easily influenced and affected by the fluctuations of the local economy. We acknowledge the importance of giving back to our community whether it be, purchasing a product from the local retailer, time given to an non-profit organization, or services offered to a bright entrepreneur who wants to start something of their own. These things are essential in order to build a happy, healthy, prosperous community and all who live in it. We truly love our community, it’s people, it’s values and all that it stands for. We`re committed to preserving what remains while making our beloved community a great place to live. Sustainability Goals Your Company Embraces: At Catch & Release Graphics, we believe graphic designers are highly influential when it comes to marketing, advertising and our society. As a result, we feel it is our civic responsibility to use our design skills in a responsible way which promotes happy, healthy sustainable products, services and goods in order facilitate a healthier global environment. Though it\`s impossible to be perfect 100% of the time, every small effort can make a big difference. Everyday we are committed to doing our best when it comes to: Recycling, minimizing the use of energy, reducing the consumption of our natural resources by becoming a virtually paperless design studio. Supporting the local economy by purchasing local products, goods and services. Sponsoring and getting involved with local groups, organizations and events. Working with local printers, vendors and independent contractors. Promoting and referring local clients and their businesses. Helping small business so that they can overcome the large box office corporations overtaking our communities. Promoting conservation and preservation of our beloved wild-lands and national parks. Targeting and helping clients who are in the market to promote happy, healthy, sustainable lifestyles. Finally, we watch for and support businesses who are striving to be economically, fiscally, and environmentally responsible both on a local and corporate level.
