I've been complaining about environmentally irresponsible companies for years, and had always dreamt of having a business of my own to operate as I would operate my own life, so now that I have that chance I am still chasing my dream - all packaging (including the floral jewelry boxes) I use for my handmade jewelry is recycled and post-consumer, plastic free, and would otherwise be in a landfill or in the ocean if it were not being reused. On top of recycling, the only string I use for necklaces is hemp cord & occasionally bamboo cord, both fast-growing natural renewable resources that are good for the environment. Why? I think it's important. (: #NotAHumbleBrag #JustProud #NoShortcuts
