All about the Why?

Printing is not the most sustainable or environment friendly business. It is necessary and provides great service to many people, both individuals and businesses alike. But when you think about the downfalls such as ink cartridges, chemicals, paper sourced from trees—there are so many ways that waste is created and our environment is impacted. I’ve always hated the phrase, “it’s always been done this way.” It annoys me to my core! My wheels began to turn on how WE could do better in this industry. How could we create a more sustainable and more future focused printing company while still providing high quality products?

Then the craziness of 2020 hit. As many of you experienced, with being quarantined at home I had more time to watch tv. One morning I watched a report about the massive destruction of the Amazon rain forest. I listened with sadness as reports estimated that more than 13,000 sq km (5,019 sq miles) of the Brazilian Amazon was burned in the first seven months of 2020 alone. I watched and wondered about the long-term fallout. How would this affect the next generation or maybe generations to come? Growing up you learned the importance of oxygen producing plants in school, how they gave life. And now, we were watching thousands of acres of forest being destroyed before our eyes.

So how could I help? What could I do? One of our favorite things to do as a family is go down to the family farm and play in the woods. We drive our Jeep down to the edge of the woods and hop out to stroll through the decades old trees. We eventually wind our way down to the creek. Nature is such a beautiful gift that all kids should be able to experience! I want to do our part in making that experience a reality for all. Looking into the eyes of my two young children my husband and I knew we had to do something differently.

Something that would not only continue to provide the same great service and products, but also show our kids that you can break from the mold of how things have always be done and find creative new ways that leave a positive impact. I wanted to create a business centered on doing what’s right. I decided to create a printing company that doesn’t just take from the environment, but instead gives back. I knew we could show our kids that we can make an impact, even if it is just one tree at a time. That day Diva Prints was born.

We at Diva Prints are on a mission to replenish mother nature. We want to renew her for years to come. Not just once or twice, but for as long as we can. When you order from Diva Prints, you are helping restore our planet. We are on a mission to plant 1,000 trees this year! We will foster and tend to these little ones to ensure they thrive. And in generations, these trees that you help us plant, will grow into the mighty, life-giving force they’re meant to be.

Our children are a part of this mission, they are the reason we began this mission! All youth deserve to have an earth rich in plant life. Follow our website and social media pages to see us in action planting our saplings, or how we contribute to reforestation projects all over! It’s truly amazing how much of an impact you can have just by the purchases you make. We are proud to be a small part of a social change and the new era of doing business with not only a great company, but also an environmentally conscious company.

We thank you for visiting and ordering from our Diva! You just joined our mission of saving the world one print at a time.
