Community

At Serravision Photography, we think it’s mighty important to care for our community. And this doesn’t just mean treating people well, although of course that is part of it, but it means enriching the community with service and art, concentrating on exchanging resources locally, caring for the environment and reducing the impact of pollution and waste.

Here are some thing Serravision Photography does to care for the local Portland community:

Use 100% recycled packaging and office paper
Reduce energy consumption by using available light when appropriate
Purchase offsets for energy use in the form of Smart Energy and Blue Sky Renewable energy programs
Reduce carbon pollution by using public transportation and bicycling when appropriate
Website hosted through company with aligned values that also offsets the energy use for it’s operations
Screen and select suppliers based on their values concerning environmental issues
Buy prints, products and service locally whenever available
Participate in alternative currency programs for those who can not afford service through traditional means
Digital photography eliminates chemical and paper needs required by traditional film photography
Online proofs; no materials are used until a final decision is made
Eliminate paper mailings
