Green Policy


Environmental health is an integral part of Trees and Pixels, after all half, of the company’s name is synonymous with being ‘Green’. The following is a list of ways that we try to better the planet while reducing our impact. There could be better ways (and I would love to hear them). We might make mistakes, but one thing is certain, we will always strive to Make a better World.
