This original handmade jewelry is the fruit of a socio-environmental project which seeks to produce a change in the way throw-away materials are seen, demonstrating that common “trash” can be transformed into attractive articles, provoking concrete actions in response to our individual responsibility to preserve Planet Earth. The purchase of these articles contributes to generating alternative revenues for groups of women recyclers who devote both their creative imagination and their labor in recuperating these materials, to preserving the environment.
The proceeds are used to generate and strengthen environmental education projects through community recycling in rural villages in Costa Rica.
