Did you know you can make gold out of grass? Well, you can. Gold costs a fortune, but there are few metals prettier. But did you know traditional gold is generally made in a pretty unsettling way?
Enter brilliant alternative:
Golden grass is one of those unique materials, sustainably harvested, regulated and grown without the use of toxic chemicals or pesticides. Not to mention, it literally shines like gold! The Xerente people of Jalapão, in northern Brazil, handcraft beautiful accessories, all made through eco-friendly processes. Bracelets, necklaces, handbags and baskets all out of this incredibly green material – and you get the same look of gold, without the price and production issues.
The Chic Ecologist says; “Gold is very similar to diamonds in worldwide exploitation of workers and damage to the environment. A study done by the environmental nonprofit WorldWatch Institute found that 80 percent of destructively mined gold is used in gold jewelry.”
Score.
