Skybox Creative participated in a Going Green to Save Some Green Business Seminar on November 13 hosted by NAWBO’s San Diego Chapter (National Association of Women Business Owners). The event, part of NAWBO’s seminar series, included a presentation by Christine McDannell, owner of Cleanology (green cleaning services) and Adopt A Christmas Tree, which is a program that offers alternative solutions to cutting down Christmas trees.

Many good tips were passed around by those attending, including using an eFax or a scanner to get around using excess paper, saving energy by using natural light when possible and bringing a lunch to avoid to-go waste. Other ideas that might take a little more extensive work included altering your business accounting practices: receiving and paying for bills electronically, and limiting paper waste by having all accounting files as electronic pdfs on a computer and back up drive.

Skybox Creative shared our green business – Skybox Ink – a fully-automated printing website that uses recycled stock, chlorine free paper and soy and vegetable inks for printed materials, but still upholds high-quality standards. Skybox Creative and Skybox Ink are also going to be hosting a Green Business Mixer on Thursday December 17, from 7 – 9pm at Se San Diego downtown. It will be an opportunity to connect eco-savvy businesses and those looking get involved in the green movement. It will also be the first in a quarterly series!
