Ryan L. Jones, who was campaigning for the D.C. Office of Attorney General, and William F. Carroll II met at the intersection of 14th and U Streets NW in Washington, D.C. and the rest was history.

As the founder of the smart business card company, sustainability has always been at the forefront for Carroll, a mission that aligns with Jones’ work in politics.

“I set out on this campaign not only to make the District better, but the Nation and world — or Earth,” Jones shared with AfroTech. “We have issues of environmental injustice, like trash and vehicle pollution being higher in some areas than others. People are choosing profits and gain over people every day. If we can cut back on business cards and other paper with fewer cards, then we are taking a step with this campaign — in the right direction — to reduce environmental injustice in the Nation’s Capital.”

Jones continued: “Getting a touchless card meant I could hold myself accountable for being environmentally conscious, instead of printing out thousands of cards.”
