Do you love jewelry? Do you also like bamboo? Then, you should check out the offerings on the John Hardy website. Unlike many such sites that are geared primarily to women, John Hardy has bamboo jewelry for men and women. For example, there are bamboo silver rectangular cuff links that sell for $250 and bamboo silver small hoop earrings for $175.
The company is off-setting greenhouse gas emissions associated with its print advertising and printed publications by planting bamboo.
Bamboo is an abundant and fast-generating natural resource that is an important alternative to timber…. The company is conducting a bamboo reforestation project with the respected local non-governmental organization Friends of the National Parks Foundation on the small arid and impoverished island of Nusa Penida, off the coast of Bali. The bamboo plantations provide economic opportunities for the people of Nusa Penida and habitat for the nearly extinct Bali starling songbird (Leucopsar rothchildi). This community-based program is third-party certified.
People interested in contributing to this effort to combat to combat global warmingcan participate in the WEAR BAMBOO, PLANT BAMBOO program. For every piece purchased of the specially designed Bamboo collection of jewelry, John Hardy will plant a certain number of bamboo seedlings on Nusa Penida. The number of seedlings each piece generates is engraved on the inner surface of the piece. The jewelry may be purchased online at www.sustainableadvertising.org and is becoming available in stores as retailers join the campaign.
