Use a Bracelet to Spread the Word about Climate Change

While doing a little web research, I came across something that you might be interested in: Stop Global Warming bracelets. At first, I was put off by the connection to the popular plastic bracelet fad (with a color for every cause), remembering a couple of kids I had seen with bracelets up and down their arms, producing a fa'ade of benevolent support. Thankfully, this particular fundraising item stood out because it stands on a stronger ethic. Instead of being made from cheap plastic-the same plastic created from the oil that is so responsible for the current climate change situation-these global warming bracelets are made from 100% recycled scrap leather, a material so sustainable that even a vegan could feel justified donning this adornment. Seeing that the producers and benefactors of the global warming bracelet are as committed to stopping global warming with even the smaller aspects of the campaign, I read on.



Does this Bracelet Really Have an Impact?



You will be pleased to hear that the proceeds from the sales of the bracelets are donated to the grassroots nonprofit organization Stop Global Warming Fund. You will be thrilled to learn that Roots, the company selling the bracelets (www.roots.com) has an excellent track record of producing and providing products that are environmentally sustainable. I didn't even have to get too worked up about the carbon cost of shipping because of Roots' zero carbon footprint shipping option, which offsets the emissions of shipping through carbon credits.



Reduce Your Carbon Footprint in Shipping



A great way to make the shipping miles more worthwhile is to get others on board and compile your orders, and maybe even buy some extra global warming bracelets to sell at fundraising and activism events. I am going to purchase some extra global warming bracelets to sell at events on my college campus. The environmental impact of shipping seems negligible when you consider the possibilities for informing others.



A Reminder to Help Stop Global Warming



While a strap of leather around your wrist is not going to literally stop global warming, it can serve as a figurative catalyst for change. For your individual behavior, the bracelet's constant presence can serve as a push in the right direction when you are debating whether to walk to the grocery store or drive, or as a reminder to bring your cloth bags instead of using the plastic ones at the store. In addition to your behavioral compass, the global warming bracelet can serve as a conversation starter. Many people are concerned about global warming but have no direction as to what actions to take - something a simple piece of jewelry can provide.



This unisex bracelet, available in several color combinations, is a great way to have a tangible reminder when making the small decisions in your daily life that will affect global warming and also to identify yourself as someone who is working towards solutions to this all-encompassing climate change challenge.
