Bangin Hangins

Here are some ways we are trying to reduce our impact on the environment and support local community:
– we’re a hire business
– no waste is created or left behind after our installations. Our pieces are used over and over and over and over and over (x1000)
– We also buy many of our materials from local businesses.
– we reuse offcuts from our streamers, and donate minimal offcuts to local childcare centres for art supplies for art activities mainly use reusable fixings to install our pieces.
– When we do use cable ties, we cut them in a way so that we can resuse them multiple times
– our studio is powered by a combo of our solar panels and the carbon neutral folks at @powershopaus⁠.we offset all our carbon use through the good peeps @carbonfootprintltd
– we have not discarded one piece since we started in 2015. Where required, we repair our pieces.
– When flying interstate for installations, we offset our carbon emissions
– We regularly support charitable initiatives targeting environment and community by getting involved on the ground of fun raiser type events. In 2019/20, some initiatives we supported included 2 x bush fire relief fundraisers, polished man, treat yo’self for mental health day, The Cova project, Sacred Heart Mission, Carries beanies for Brain Cancer.
– Personally 100% our Superannuation portfolio is invested in ethical investments (no coal / tobacco etc) we have avoided the need of purchasing a second car/van by using car share services available locally.
