BEING MINDFUL

WRITTEN BY DREW SORRELLS


Dear Friends and Clients,

I’m always thinking about ways to make less of an imprint on our planet. When we want to pay attention, it’s astonishing to watch the trash going into landfills and oceans. My first exposure to product waste was April 22, 1970, the planet’s first Earth Day. Our grade school classroom walked a 2-mile radius and picked up bags and bags of trash and aluminum cans. WoW!


CRADLE to CRADLE

Then in early 2002 I was introduced to architect William McDonough and his book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, who gives us positive hope that we can design materials and products that have a beneficial footprint. His goal was to help us think about the materials we use and “shift thinking from ‘less bad’ to being ‘more good.’” This is definitely a great place to start.

Adue projects are constantly thinking about product choices and specifications that have a closed loop production cycle, from carpeting to fabrics to furniture. I also include shopping for clients at our local furniture consignment stores and flea markets, and also online flea market type resources like Chairish and 1stDibs. In the office I’ve long ago moved from paper to digital presentations. Our office is zero waste and designed with up-cycled office furniture from Pear Project Services and antiques. I like giving my old apple equipment to people who need it.

STOP JUNK MAIL!

Catalog Choice helps to stop unnecessary catalogs from being delivered to your home. Catalog Choice is a huge success, saving tons of our earth’s precious resources.  What’s the point of a catalog, when we can view everything online now!

Here are just a few of the beautiful and mindful products I love and use:
1. Blueland – Refillable home cleaning products
2. Monbento – Reusable lunch box
3. Fellow – Reusable coffee mugs
4. Stasher Bags – Reusable storage bags
5. Davines – Sustainable hair products 

Have fun exploring and happy fall!
