At Pure Buttons we are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. We know that shipping orders nationally, and especially internationally has a carbon cost that we’d like to reduce or eliminate. We are pleased to announce that the carbon cost of deliveries shipped from Pure Buttons and StandOut Stickers via UPS will be made net zero from now on through the UPS carbon neutral program.
What is carbon neutral shipping? To put it simply, each UPS delivery has a “carbon cost” associated with it based on weight, destination, and delivery method. This amount is calculated and then “offset” with investments in green / renewable energy projects, rainforest preservation, tree planting, carbon capture and more.
How do I get carbon neutral shipping? Simply choose one of our many UPS shipping options. We have made all of them carbon neutral at no additional cost!
The UPS carbon neutral program is certified with the CarbonNeutral Protocol by Natural Capital Partners and verified by Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).
As average consumers, it is incumbent upon all of us to take steps to reduce our waste and environmental impact. Offering carbon neutral shipping is one of the many changes we are taking to reduce our footprint in the coming years. Stay tuned for more announcements on this topic.
For now, UPS is the only carbon neutral shipping option available to us. USPS is making efforts to optimize their fleet vehicles and facilities but as of now does not offer a carbon neutral option. We will update when this becomes available for all carriers. For now, you must choose a UPS shipping method if you’d like carbon neutral shipment.
Can I get free carbon neutral shipping? Our FREESHIP code is programmed to offer the lowest cost shipping option as “free” and then discount all other shipping options by the dollar value of the lowest cost shipping option. Many times on larger orders, UPS offers the cheapest shipping option, so this will in fact be the free option. That being said, using FREESHIP can still offer discounted carbon neutral shipping even if USPS is the free option for your particular order. (note: coupon code FREESHIP is valid on orders over $35 shipped to contiguous USA).
How do I identify carbon neutral shipping options? We have marked our UPS carbon neutral shipping options with a this 🌱 seedling emoji to make them easier to spot during checkout. Thanks for helping us reduce our carbon footprint by choosing carbon neutral shipping!

One of our most prolific customers is Leonard “Porkchop” Zimmerman. He doesn’t order the most buttons by quantity, but he certainly is the single most frequent submitter of unique designs by any individual person.
We recently shared a photo featuring a wide variety of HAPPY button designs printed over the years, but you can also check out the official design gallery of HAPPY BUTTONS here.
Leonard is a graphic artist from Georgia who runs the HAPPY campaign from the generosity of his heart. Happy buttons are created to promote positivity and variant designs are constantly created for unique events, holidays and just because. Happy button designs follow the same format: the word HAPPY appears under a smiling robot head. The background and color choices vary but they all have a cohesive template and are printed on our 1.25″ Round Custom Buttons. Leonard gives out free HAPPY buttons and stickers to anyone who wants them and he’s constantly making new variants.
When we realized that this was the 10th anniversary of Leonard’s HAPPY campaign we knew we had to do something special to thank him for all the years of positive support. So what better than a commemorative button vending machine? A symbol of the generosity that he champions with his HAPPY campaign in a colorful and fun reminder of childhood. To us, it was perfect.
Thank you Leonard for being a force for good in this world and choosing our custom buttons to play a part!
How appropriate is the “THANK YOU” embossed on the lid of this vending machine? We love it!
Take a look at a quick video of the machine dispensing sweet button goodness:
Behind the scenes:
Of course, it had to be a HAPPY yellow vending machine, and it had to dispense buttons for free. We ordered the machine and printed a batch of the official 10 Year Anniversary HAPPY buttons Leonard had already ordered. We even printed some special metallic finish “chase” variant versions!
Once the vending machine arrived, we got to work on modifying it to dispense buttons for free, as Leonard would surely want. After a bit of tinkering on the mechanism and testing we got to work on filling the capsules with the HAPPY 10 Year Anniversary buttons.
We chose multi colored caps and loaded them with two unique button designs each. One button is the 10 year anniversary design with a yellow background, and the other features a background comprised of the photo of various happy buttons over the years, which we featured in a blog linked above. We reserved the red capsules for our metallic chase variants.
We then applied a large HAPPY logo as a cut vinyl decal to the front plexi-glass. Next, we printed and applied smaller Pure Buttons logo die cut stickers to the side windows. Once the decals and stickers were installed, we reassembled the machine and took photos!
With the machine set up and loaded, we carefully packed and shipped it to Leonard as a secret surprise! We were slightly nervous of how it would fare in shipment, but it arrived in good shape and Leonard was thrilled!
Leonard was also the subject of a short documentary that explores his life and his HAPPY campaign and it’s a truly enjoyable watch. Check out the HAPPY Documentary here.
