The calendar reads, April 22, Earth Day.
I consider every day is Earth Day. This is our home; we need to take care of it. 
As a company we have been searching for ways to bring food and gifts to our clients while reducing our carbon footprint. Some of our gifts, such as the shopping totes, and stainless steel water bottles, go a long way to changing our habits as a population. We consume less, and pollute less, by reusing bags and bottles rather than just wasting all those resources and filling our landfills.
Below are other practices Fancifull has instituted to buy more locally, which helps our economy and the environment, without compromising on quality.
Farmers' Market Fruit: We have been buying the majority of our fruit at our local Farmers' Market. This ensures that we get fruit that is in season, locally grown, and supporting the local economy.
California Cheeses: We have searched and found some lovely cheeses made right in our home state. This excites us to no end. They use safe farming practices, don't use antibiotics on their animals, treat the animals well, and are often organic. Cowgirl Creamery, Cypress Grove, and Bravo Cheddar are just a few of the California Cheeses we now carry.
Organics: Fancifull has been searching for more and more organic products to bring to you. We have found some suppliers that have manufactured organically for years, yet have not received certification yet. We, at the very least, demand all natural and good taste! We promise not to bring you leaden cookies and bark tasting crackers. We meet with a lot of our suppliers and do our best to buy from companies that have integrity and we have a particular soft spot for family run businesses.
Delivery: We are working on more ways to reduce our carbon footprint in our delivery area. This is particularly challenging in Los Angeles. We have discovered that by shipping rather than delivering to outlying areas we can "carpool" our gifts. This means hundreds of packages are riding in one FedEX vehicle rather than one or two gifts in our company van.
Going Green isn't just a fad. It has to become a way of life, a habit that we don't break.
At Fancifull we will continue to research and expand our methods at being environmentally responsible while finding the best the world has to give.
