Sustainability
SUSTAINABILITY IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME, I PRACTICE THIS IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE. HERE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS I IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABILITY AT RISING SUN JEWELRY.
ONE TREE IS PLANTED FOR EVERY ORDER. THIS HELPS REFORESTATION EFFORTS REVIVE NATURAL HABITATS, IMPROVE CORAL REEF HEALTH, SUPPORT LOCAL LIVELIHOODS AND AID IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE BY EXTRACTING CO2 FROM THE AIR.
THE GOLD. GOLD FILLED AND STERLING SILVER IS PURCHASED FROM A COMPANY THAT PUTS ETHICAL SOURCING AS A GUIDING PRINCIPLE IN THEIR BUSINESS. THEY ARE CERTIFIED BY THE RESPONSIBLE JEWELLERY COUNCIL BECAUSE THEY DEMONSTRATE COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL SOURCING. THIS INCLUDES ENVIRONMENTAL. SOCIAL, FINANCIAL, AND REGULATORY ISSUES. THE GOLD/SILVER IS ALSO RECYCLED WHENEVER POSSIBLE. THIS COMPANY IS ALSO 100% SOLAR POWERED AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER 10 YEARS. THIS AMAZING COMPANY ALSO REFRAINS FROM SELLING ILLEGAL PRODUCTS LIKE IVORY AND CORAL THAT INCREASE POACHING IN THE WILD. THE STONES THAT I CHOOSE ARE MINED ETHICALLY AND I TRY TO PURCHASE LOCALLY AS MUCH AS I CAN.
MY SHIPPING IS 100% PLASTIC FREE! MY PAPER GOODS ARE MADE WITH RECYCLED MATERIALS AND HAS FSC CERTIFICATION, THIS MEANS IT ENSURES THAT THE PRODUCTS COME FROM RESPONSIBLY MANAGED FORESTS THAT PROVIDE ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS. THE RSJ DRAWSTRING BAGS ARE REUSABLE AND MADE FROM GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD (GOTS) CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON FIBERS AND PRINTED WITH WATER-BASED INK.
HERE AT RISING SUN JEWELRY, I STRIVE FOR SUSTAINABLE, HAND CRAFTED JEWELRY THAT WILL LAST FOR GENERATIONS. I WILL CONTINUE MAKING CHANGES THAT WILL POSITIVELY IMPACT OUR MAMMA EARTH.
