Good Karma Polar Bear Ornament

<< Prev page

When I heard how these recycled ornaments originated, I became committed to ''the cause'' myself! While on a rug-buying trip to India, some merchandisers from Colorado learned that hand-woven carpets are so uneven on top, they're ''shaved,'' leaving behind lots of scrap wool. The merchandisers now work with women in small villages in India to make these charming ornaments from the recycled wool.

The fair wage income means the world to these women, enabling them to support their families, and we love hearing that ''This little product brings smiles for the makers and the buyers, without bringing any pollution into the world."

We hope to increase their smiles (as well as ours) by contributing 60 cents for each ornament sold to the National Resources Defense Council, www.nrdc.org. And you will smile seeing one of these characters on your tree, with their hand-embroidered accents and moveable legs. Because they are handmade, they may vary slightly in size, color tone, and design. (Chinaberry Inc. is not affiliated in any manner with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) or any of its programs, projects or websites.)

Why This is an Employee Pick

What Janet, Assistant Director of Merchandising says:

While I truly love all the items I wrote about in our fall/holiday catalog, the ones I want to shout about from the rooftops are the Good Karma Ornaments. What's not to rave about? 1) They're made from recycled wool that would have been discarded had it not been for the ingenuity of some merchandisers from Colorado, 2) Women in need now have good jobs that bring them a fair wage income in India, and 3) For each one sold, we (Chinaberry) are contributing to an organization that's committed to establishing sustainability and good stewardship of the Earth. Plus, they're beautiful! I love these ornaments.
