As you know I am now donating a percentage of all my Etsy sales to The World Wildlife Fund. I also want to make small changes in my life to "reduce my carbon footprint..... BUT I want to make it fun also! :-)
So.....This is the first in a series of post I am going to do on fun green ideas. And it just so happens the first green idea is mine.
My jewelry is all about re-purposing, reusing what is already here, "reinventing vintage artifacts through modern means: looking towards the future for memory while drawing from the past for inspiration." And I feel my new line embodies this vision perfectly!
The re-purposed vintage tin necklaces are made from cast off cookie, biscuit, tea tins...even old discarded metal lunch boxes!
I would love to hear some of your green ideas!
"We are not to throw away those things which can benefit our neighbor. Goods are called good because they can be used for good: they are instruments for good, in the hands of those who use them properly."

Great post Renee! I love the idea of re-using tins!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheryl! I am looking for more fun green ideas to feature...anyone??
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of re-purposing anything don't you. In fact, we don't need more growth but need to conserve and re-use. I guess we need another kind of economic order in general in order for the human race to survive. I'm every hopeful that we will especially when I find people like you. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappiness and Peace to all.
Great ideas, great post!!
