Here is how Kevin describe what is a Green photographer:
A “Green Photographer” can be defined as one who uses renewable resources (environmentally sustainable) and is accountable for the human resource aspect of their activities (socially responsible).
Being Green requires developing an attitude toward sustainability and practises that can be incorporated into our everyday lives. Being a green photographer means changing the way you purchase, develop, produce, and provide products and services so you make a positive impact on the environment.
Think of the planet as a warehouse of goods. When you use the goods, you have to pay for them with money or fair trade. When you use the environment’s resources, you have to pay the environment back to offset your consumption.

Hello,
I am very interested in becoming a certified “Green Photographer”. I have had a business for nearly seven years but recently took time off when my son was born. Now that I have started up again it has become increasingly important for me to build green preactices into the foundation of my business. I actually wanted to make such a change that I closed down my other business and reopened under a new name to start fresh. I took a look at the 10 rules to be a green photographer, and I already do all of those. I appreciate the additional resources on this site to push it beyond the 10 basic rules and continually adding more green practices.
Please contact me further with details of how to become accredited.
Thank you,
Emily Hoskins
