Printing music, especially all the parts and scores required for recording sessions, requires a lot of paper. An awful lot of paper.
With high paper consumption comes the question of sustainability: how can we make preparing music more environmentally friendly, more sustainable, and (ideally) cheaper?
This is something I take very seriously, and have set up a dedicated blog to share my experiences with using more sustainable and recycled products for recording sessions, more sustainable techniques related to music preparation, and the general environmentally progressive actions I am undertaking as a citizen of this world: including switching to a 100% renewable energy supplier, buying Fairtrade clothes and shoes using natural products, and choosing public transport or my own two feet over cars and taxis – even when delivering music to sessions. (I enjoy the general reliability of trains over being stuck in traffic!)
