The thought of jewelry turning you green is usually a drag, but in John Hardy’s case, it’s all part of the chic experience. To offset the carbon emissions created by the production of his print ads, he is planting bamboo trees on the small, deforested island of Nusa Penida, off the coast of Indonesia.
\nHardy’s jewelry workshop is based in Bali, so he feels this is a way to give something back. A portion of proceeds from his limited-edition sterling silver collection will benefit the reforestation project. To learn more, or to purchase, visit www.sustainableadvertising.org.<\/p>\n
