One of our artists investigated the possibility of painting on organic canvasses to be more environmentally friendly. Unfortunately to purchase organic canvas for this use the fabric would have had to travel 2 continents and then back one continent. After posting a question on a forum about which is greener - an item that is organic but has traveled over 2 continents or an item that is not organic that is treated with the same solutions and has only traveled a short distance, the answers received were unanimous. Distance makes a big difference. The amount of mileage for the organic canvas completely obliterated any "greeness" associated with the item.
