3. We're buying green supplies: The West Coast Sea Glass business has begun the process of “greening up” our supply purchases. Going green is on the increase across the globe. So we always seek out the most ecological products we can find, first. The packaging supplies, jewelry metals and office products (even light bulbs) are more ecological.

4. We're conserving energy: When we leave our workroom(s), we turn off printers, lights, computers, monitors, speakers etc.  The team here are coffee heads. But after 9:30am once everyone’s arrived and coffee’d up, we shut the coffee maker off – otherwise it would stay on until noon.

5. We participate in shoreline stewardship programs. We belong to the North American Sea Glass Association,  a non-profit organization that donates thousands of dollars annually to shoreline restoration groups and beach cleanups.
