Living the Green Lifestyle: All the Way Down to Your Picture Framing

If you are like many individuals and families in Central Oregon, you try to make daily choices that help preserve the environment. You carry reusable shopping bags. You use “green” cleaning products. You recycle.

There’s no need to sacrifice your ideals when decorating the walls in your home or business. Eastlake Framing can help you make the right choice.

“We’ve always integrated practices into our daily operations that reduce waste, while helping others in the community,” said Debbie Spicer, owner of Eastlake Framing. “We donate leftover supplies and used frames to art teachers in public and private schools, we give packaging supplies to artists and galleries for re-use, and we donate frames to the art and photography department at COCC.”

In addition, Eastlake Framing offers several lines of environmentally friendly framing products, such as frame molding and matboard.

“We look for suppliers that share common goals with us when it comes to stewardship of our planet,” Spicer continued. “We’ve been able to work with companies that are committed to reducing ecological impact through practices such as reforestation, biodegradable materials, alternative packaging, reclaimed woods, and simple office practices that match our own, such as recycling.”

All of these suppliers participate in certification programs around the world to ensure that responsible forest management is followed throughout their supply chain.

And buyers of these products don’t have to sacrifice quality or beauty by making the right choice. All the finest woods and finishes are available to perfectly complement that special piece of art – so it may become an heirloom used for generations to come.
