I just printed my 2012 pricing menu (a 5x5 trifold from ProDPI) which includes the beautiful Greener Photography member badge.  It was the first time that I saw the member badge in print....and it looks stunning! 

I hope all of you are taking advantage of this beautiful icon and putting your commitment to the environment in front of your clients.  Remember, Your values, have value!  So say it loud and say it proud!
