Collaborations

The Green Shopper is a UK based blog, written and illustrated by published author Ruth Walton. Examples of my books, graphic design and illustration work can be found at ruthwalton.co.uk

I hope to inspire readers to make informed and positive ethical shopping decisions. If you would like to sponsor a blog post or advertise through The Green Shopper, or need some graphic design or illustration work, please get in touch at ruth.h.walton@gmail.com with details and I will email you my media kit. I am open to collaborations with businesses who share my values. Clients include Ethical Consumer Magazine and New Internationalist.

Here are some of the steps I’ve taken to be as ethical as possible in my studio:

  • Powered by 100% renewable energy using solar panels and Ecotricity
  • All printing is on recycled paper using an EcoTank refillable ink printer
  • Office supplies from The Green Stationery Company
  • Pens and office waste recycled through Terracycle schemes
  • Voluntary design work undertaken for charities and campaigns
  • Low cost design work for small local businesses
  • MDF and particle-board free solid wood furniture, floorboards and construction
  • Natural paints and wood oils used throughout
  • Refillable environmentally-friendly cleaning products
