Community

In an increasingly busy world, it is easy to overlook the little things that make a difference to the people of the planet and our environment. At the Clyne office, we take every step we can to ensure that the work we do supports the community and is as eco-friendly as it can be.

What we do for the planet:		What we do for the people we share the planet with:
	We use recycled paper for our models' composite cards and recycle all of our printer consumables.		Clyne has been a World Vision sponsor of several children living in both Brazil and Ethipoia for the past ten years.
	Drink fair trade coffee with organic milk.		Locally, we are closely involved with Youthline, primarily through our website Model.co.nz. This website has been developed by Clyne as a resource for young people, and provides information about the modelling industry with the aim to encourage environmental and social awareness.
	We turn lights, fans and heaters off whenever possible.		Our range of eco-friendly apparel - made primarily from bamboo - is promoted and sold through the website, with ten per cent of all purchases going to Youthline.
	Our cleaning products and bug spray are all 100 per cent eco-friendly.		Clyne has contributed significant support to Vision For Humanity. VFH is a fledgling charity that aims to encourage people to create a joint vision for "a successful planet". Launching mid-2008.
	We've chosen Meridian Energy as our electricity provider because it is a New Zealand owned and operated company that is committed to producing energy from renewable wind and hydro resources, and supporting the environment and the people of this country. These values are synonomous with the values we have at Clyne.

There's always more to be done though, and the Clyne team is constantly coming up with new ways to support the environment and community.
