SUSTAINABLE AND ALTERNATIVE

FUELS

If you’re a crafter who uses a kiln, then by considering the

energy supply to the kiln is also a way to make the firing

process more sustainable. Changing your electricity supplier to

a green tariff increases the demand and profile of renewable

energy. Considering local materials when sourcing wood

kindling or other fuel is also a more sustainable approach. They

are more likely to be readily available and more easily

accessible.

Since fuels are vital to many creators and their livelihood, and

because so much is used in the

production of their pieces and

creations, a global switch to cleaner

fuels would go a long way to

promoting a healthier environment.

Such fuels include waste vegetable

oil (WVO) and sustainably produced

biodiesel.
