Saving the World One Button at a Time
The 2020 Button-O-Matic Series isn’t the first time Busy Beaver has collaborated with NRDC and Studio Number One to affect positive change. Read more about our past collaborations:
NRDC
When the NRDC needs an inexpensive and eco-friendly way to spread their message, they turn to Busy Beaver to get the job done. We even developed capsules that were made from recycled plastic. They know that pin-back buttons are an easy way to create a dialogue around climate change and other environmental issues. By using pins in fun and creative ways, the NRDC is able to easily draw attention to their cause. Learn More! >
Studio Number One
Having a strong tie to their community and supporting relevant causes and issues is important to Studio Number One. And buttons pair perfectly with those beliefs. Annie Pham, Account Director at SNO, says it best: “A button is a badge of honor to show what you’re passionate about, what you stand for, or simply as a work of art that represents you.” Learn more > |

History of the Button-O-Matic Artist Series
The Button-O-Matic Artist Series began in 2002 as a way to champion buttons as tiny works of art. Artist-designed 1-inch buttons are dispensed in plastic capsules from gumball-style button vending machines across the country.For the past 5 years, the Artists Series has also been a means to fundraise for causes and organizations in which Busy Beaver strongly believes. Through the sale of these buttons, we’ve been able to support causes like Everytown for Gun Safety and Yollocalli Arts Reach.
This year, for the partnership with NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) and to continue Busy Beaver’s commitment to green manufacturing practices, we developed the world’s first plastic vending machine capsule made from 100% recycled industrial plastic.
