A recyclable, vinyl PVC-free banner announces
the opening of Conservation Hardware, providing
information and products to 'help everybody save'.
Richard Skorman spoke at the opening reception of his new venture, a non-profit organization at 409 N Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, CO on June 18th. The refreshing part of his speech was his admission that he doesn't know everything about conserving energy (does anyone?) and that he is eager to learn more with the rest of the community.
And Conservation Hardware seems like the perfect place to start. It's more than just a store with inexpensive products to help people save energy and money. It's a community of people who, like Skorman, are open to learning more about conservation.
No one person or group can do it all, but there was no talk of gloom and doom like some "green" organizations like to dwell on. The evening was just an encouraging, enthusiastic effort to get everyone to do a little bit - just their part - to reduce emissions, energy use, and waste.
Fortune Displays created the banner that celebrates the grand opening (still hanging on the Conservation Hardware building). It's not earth-changing in itself, but besides being attractive and sturdy, the banner is printed on non-vinyl, recyclable material. The Vinyl PVC that almost all banners are made from is a very durable material, but it is created with toxic processes and never degrades once it hits the landfill. One banner at a time, Fortune Displays http://www.fortunedisplays.com is trying to make a difference with substitute materials that are much more environmentally friendly.
"Outstanding design, environmentally responsible products" is the mission of the new graphic design and display company. Much more than just a sign shop, Fortune Displays is owned by 2 experienced, award-winning graphic designers who aim to create a beautiful piece of art that gets your message across and stands out amid the competition.
"We'll even see to it that your old vinyl banners get recycled into 'new' products, by working with companies that sew tote bags, messenger bags and other items from the used material," say owners Elaine Hipps and Lenora Degen. "It just makes sense."
