I have to admit, I'm a firm believer in taking care of the Earth as best we can. However, I feel strongly that the public is struggling with information overload about how to “Go Green”.
People are confused as to what to do and what not to do with man-made materials in order to preserve the earth. “We can use this material to “do this” and we can dispose of it “this way”; oh, but “no we can't because….” Some companies say that it's okay to do something; another company will contradict the information. It's rather frustrating.
In stepping aside from the melee of the mainstream flow of “Going Green”, I've come across a rather refreshing look at a true “Go Green” company. Yes, they believe in the preservation of Earth's resources. Is this a new thing to them? Have they had to re-evaluate the way they do business in order to “Go Green”? The answer to both of these questions is “no”.
Step back to a simpler time of hand-made goods; things that were created out of Earth's natural resources to withstand the test of time. Not the man-made products of plastic or various other concoctions of today. No need to worry about any disposal of the product as it belongs in the Earth to begin with.
The product that I'm talking about is stone. I've come across a company named “Hand Carved Treasures”. This company creates beautiful designs, hand-carved in stone. Some of their artwork includes garden stones, memorial stones, address stones, stone jewelry and so on. They offer their own designs, but the beauty of their business is that they will also make your requested designs.
I've had a lot of fun perusing their site
.
On a slightly negative note, however, as they have just started making their designs available via the Internet, I would say that their site could be a little more user-friendly. On more positive notes, they are very open and responsive in their communication; they will work their hardest with any request you may have, and last but not least, their products are genuine quality.
“Go Green”. How much more “Green” can this endeavor be? Taking Earth's natural resources and creating beautiful items that will last a lifetime. Look at most of the artifacts that we so value today. Most are made of stone or carved into stone and they've been around long enough to tell us the story of our past.
Hand Carved Treasures is doing the same today. Perhaps some of their designs will be unearthed one of these days and tell the future population what life was like “back then”.
