How to Resin the Eco-Friendly Way - Easy Ways to Help Minimise Waste

Green is the new black! 🌎 As we become more aware of our carbon footprint, it's worth looking at how we practice our resin craft, not just for Earth Day, but every day. In recent times, I've made a number of changes to help reduce waste in my studio. Many of the changes were easy to make. Some of them even saved money!
