When 'green' is part of the art, it is a special aspect that connects it to our earth. There is only one..... Earth.

I'm into making art that is green in content and/or materials. This interest me deeply. Thanks for making this possible.

Wow, nice stamp. Will you only stamp works that contain recycled art or works that contain recycled anything? I really like it.

the fact that mail-artists recycle the things they find is quite a green thought.

Most of the artists I know are pretty "green" but are mail artists more green? I don't know.....a lot of the mail art that I make, receive and see uses recycled materials but does the "greenieness" go beyond that? I don't know. It seems to with Katerina ;) I wish I could have solar hot water alas, I'm a renter here in Australia and don't get to make those decisions for this house. I also only walk and cycle, my family of four gave up the car 2 1/2 years ago!!

Thinking a colour is a nice thought too.

Usually, lately, I have been "Thinking Blue"...
lots of Tall Greek Blue Grass everywhere!

But, as a mail artist, I do recycle, reuse and reduce.
Also, walk to post office and definitely do NOT
drive a gas-guzzlin' "Jeepaki" ( SUV )...
After painting or gluing, I wash my hands with
hot water that comes from the sun/solar-water-heater
on the roof...and throw my cans, glass, plastics, newspapers
in their special bins...all to save the planet!

So, do mail-artists actually "Think Green" when they send out mail-art?
