(At present, it's the only brand to do so.)   After a life-changing discovery a few years ago of the threat that mercury from small-scale gold mining poses to people and our planet, he founded the brand in efforts to support a cleaner future and better social and environmental standards in the industry.   On this podcast episode, Bob sheds light on how mercury emissions has been dubbed a global crisis by the United Nations; why Fairmined Ecological Gold, specifically used in jewelry, is necessary to improve the practices in gold mining (though gold is also used for other things like computer chips); how the creation of beautiful, meaningful, and timeless designs can encourage deeper appreciation for fashion rather than drive overconsumption; and more.   Episode notes: www.greendreamer.com/135 Support the show: www.patreon.com/greendreamer Instagram: www.instagram.com/greendreamerpodcast","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/exVkMkHLl0fC1ul1m6wXBTqkKxXXxLrirosp7PuJLTs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lZTJl/ODJmOWJhMTUzNTc4/Yjg5OWNiMTA5YWEy/ZWY4ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
