I like to know where all of my supplies come from, but you're right sometimes it is hard to find out. The wood that I use is salvaged from burn piles picked out by me and I make sure to put that in my descriptions. It's important to let people know that you care! Great article!

I refrained from buying any natural gem stones and new wood for that reason - I didn't know where they came from. I've been much more into polymer clay things. Because I have a huuge stash of clay that I've been given as gifts, I'm working away at those rather than buying new wood and gems for jewelry pieces. Thanks for the reminder and inspiration to get back to seeking environmentally friendly supplies! Clay gets old after a while when my hands get so dried out!

I never thought about the fact that although wooden toys are better than plastic they still might not be environmentally friendly. Recycling materials is certainly the most environmentally friendly route. I am currently saving up my used aluminum cans to make a neat wind chime for my backyard.

I don't think eco-conscious crafters often think about where their natural materials come from. It always good to check into the history of the product and follow it's path into your hands as much as possible. Thanks for the post! Cerise : ) Great article.
