You can't move to Maine. They just became the first state to ban Styrofoam food products.

Absolutely, things vary from model to model and brand. We agree way more than I think this forum would have people believe. We ALL have skin in the game and need to accept our responsibility for our impacts big or small. I'll take a stadium full of makeup clad women compared to an equal...

In a society where we blow huge amounts of money on vanity, recreational toys, electronics, etc. maybe it's time to pay the piper for decades of ignoring the warning signs of our disposable lifestyle. Our super efficiency dishwasher cost around $500, the washer and dryer were about $1,250 for...

The Snake River, then the Columbia River? Thousands probably fall off cruise ships every day. A typical cruise liner creates the same amount of pollution as 1 million cars per day. https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/cruise-ships-polluters-ocean-sewage-particulates/

Labels are dangerous and easily misinterpreted. I don't accept the notion that doing the right thing for the environment we all need to preserve to sustain us has to cost more. It may cost a little more up front, but typically ends up saving money, resources and lessens waste in a myriad of...

An green thinking entrepreneur has invented a biodegradable six pack holder that is EDIBLE made from pressed barley and wheat processing waste and completely free of plastics. Craft brewers all over the world are giving their spent grains to farmers and bakeries to be incorporated into feed and...

The areas of major concern that could have dramatic positive impacts go way beyond what a burger is wrapped in or if we accept the straw servers reflexively provide. Vast amounts of native forest and natural plains are plowed under every year just for meat production around the world. As that...

It happens to everyone and usually without warning. Sounds like you have a good handle on it.

When you say "it’s pretty much what we did but with a different background colour." how close is it to the layout you provided? Did they ever ask for the colour they ended up with? This is where washing your hands of them and adding some kind of language to your order forms, layout proofs, etc...

The concept of socially responsible investing has been employed for over 200 years. There is no reason to expect lower returns if investing in the better socially responsible funds. In some cases, they outperform the S&P500 and non-screened investments on a regular basis. Most of these...

The harmless, non-commercial reproduction of a customer's favorite sports team logo that they slap on their own car is one thing. Somebody coming in and wanting 500 of them because they intend to make cornhole boards and sell them is different. We used to be badgered by our local anti-abortion...

These are very common sign types for us and we have been using a combination of LEXEL and VHB on the raised letters for years and years and have never to my knowledge had a failure that I am aware of. To be totally clear, we use mechanical fasteners WHENEVER possible to be 100% certain of our...

It costs more, but we've been using LEXEL instead of silicone for several years for that type of installation and find it to be a superior product in many ways. Faster setting, more resilient, stronger bond, less mess because you can use a smaller bead and get the same adhesion strength.

I'm pretty sure the sprocket hole pattern is universal. We run 15" Oracal, Helix and 3M though our EDGE but our Gerber P2C plotter is a friction feed, so it's more important to us which brands work on the EDGE itself.

Work/Life stresses come in a variety of forms and I hope you can manage yours to everyone's benefit involved. Being able to divide up tasks and chores where everyone has skin in the game is an important skill in both business and personal life. I hope you have a good week starting with today.

We've muscled our way through many a job with a standard 1/2" hammer drill and paid the physical price afterwards. Buying this tool was long overdue and it paid for itself in the first couple hours of use.

Most communities have sign codes which dictate just how big a sign can be as well as how long a "banner" or other temporary sign can be displayed. Additional concerns are the durability of the material the sign is being made from. In my mind the word "banner, no matter what grade or weight...

Wow! Where do I start? Did they teach you in sales school how to condescend to and patronize people who simply point out that not every shop wants or needs a flatbed printer? Your presumptions about people are insulting and I can't wait to find out who you sell printers for. I'm sure your...

We're not all In this craft to do mass production of quickie, semi-temporary signs. Some of us aren't plotting how to or are situated somewhere just to try and become the next Signs365. Bigger, faster and more indebted doesn't equal "winning" or even success if you're in the race to the...
