ETSY EARTH TEAM's main criteria is to present our values, question and collect realistic facts, respond in a practical manner, and share our findings publicly. We work as team to inspire progress in earth friendly efforts. We consider new team members that strive for earth-friendly ways through product materials, ingredients, production methods, packaging and shipping supplies, while attending to the overall eco sensibility of their entire shop.
MENTORSHIP PROGRAM: if you are a shop owner caught in mid-stream of change we will support you. If you have items in your shop not considered earth-friendly we understand that you cannot just toss these away. Example: you are a knitter switching from conventional yarns to natural fiber yarns so your shop is filled goods made from each source. As a participant of the Etsy Earth Mentorship Program you will be given special attention and guidance. We will help you promote a "phase out sale" to quicken this process of direction and assist in reaching your goals. Etsy Earth aims to encourage change while demonstrating that earth friendly ideals are attainable.
