Environmentally friendly:
Lee White converted to an eco-friendly business model over 15 years ago taking steps to conserve natural resources, prevent pollution, and reduce waste. First he built a new studio by his house to eliminate the wasteful use of petroleum products and stop fouling the air with needless exhaust. Not only does this reduce emissions and congestions, it has the extra benefit to his European and Asian clients as he is functionally at his studio during their normal business hours.
Lee has cut power consumption in many ways to reduce the strain on natural resources. He maintain large trees that shade both the studio and house which take in CO2 and generate oxygen while reducing the use of air conditioning by 98%. Crewmembers and he turn off lights in areas not being used and unplug equipment rather than leaving them in stand-by mode. Where lights are on they conserve energy by using compact and regular fluorescent bulbs balanced to daylight for better color rendition. Rechargeable batteries are used in cameras, portable computers and portable strobe reducing deadly toxics created in regular battery production and ending up in landfills.


Lee White converted to digital imaging thus stopping the waste involve with the manufacture and processing of traditional film. Clients are provided with the choice of receiving proofs and master files via the web rather than proof sheets and CD/DVD disks if they will fit the clients needs reducing the use of inks, ink cartridges, paper, plastics and rare metals. All studio papers and disks including those sent to clients when returned are sent to recycling plants. Recycling wastes require about two-thirds less energy than creation from raw materials.
