Biophilia means "an instinctive bond between human beings and other living systems." Our home is Harlem, New York City. What sets Biophilia Records apart from traditional music labels is that in addition to creating meaningful and imaginative music, our artists are united by a common interest in having a positive impact on the environment and our communities. Our artists collaborate with organizations that specialize in conservation, sustainability and outreach initiatives. We regularly volunteer hands-on in community events to help however we can. Our manifesto is: I will be cognizant of my own resource consumption and environmental impacts. I will make efforts to limit them wherever possible, including: • Energy: By turning off lights and other appliances when not in use or not necessary. • Paper: By choosing paperless options when they exist and printing double-sided. • Materials: By choosing and maintaining reusable alternatives over disposable products, such as water bottles, grocery or shopping bags, dish-ware, and utensils. By avoiding or refusing disposable products (whether plastic or paper) when offered to me by default, except in cases where safety and hygiene are of particular concern. • Waste: When items cannot be reused and must be disposed, I will sort and separate all materials that are accepted for recycling according to local rules. • Carbon-intensive activities: by walking, biking, using public transportation, or carpooling, and avoiding air travel when other options are feasible. By eating less meat, and wasting less food.
