Our Commitment to Mother Nature
To offset the carbon impact of the paper products we use, Mountain Life has planted more than 9,300 trees in British Columbia, Ontario & Brazil, which equates to 10 years worth of all the
magazines we’ve ever printed. Knowing we’re actively contributing to the life and vitality of the local environment gives our team a renewed sense of why we do what we do.
We’ve recently joined forces with PrintReleaf, a patented software platform that empowers businesses to sustain and grow our global forestry system—one print job at a time. All of our
publications are proudly printed in Canada.
