MOVING: Shophandmade




Shophandmade.com supports the environment with every listing and every purchase. All I Dig Crystals creations are now moving from sheilasatin.etsy.com to idigcrystals.shophandmade.com

ShopHandmade's environmental policy is simple and straightforward:
We're here to protect endangered rainforests.

The clearing of forests produces more CO2 than all cars, trucks, and SUVs combined. Protecting endangered rainforests is the fastest, cheapest, and easiest way to help the environment and to reduce our carbon footprint. (See the short movie on this by clicking here.)

We pay to offset the carbon footprint of everything sold via our site. We pay to protect a minimum of 25 square feet of rainforest for every item sold through ShopHandmade. We pay for this--it doesn't cost buyers or sellers anything. That 25 square feet sequesters the same amount of CO2 as was emitted in producing the average handmade item; including the raw materials and shipping the materials to and from the crafter and buyer.
