Bristol Bay's salmon run provide 14,000 jobs to Alaskans, food and sustenance to the people and wildlife of Bristol Bay; building a mine would pollute the water and atmosphere. It's so simple and powerful to send a message to the EPA and make your voice heard!
As jewelers and metalsmiths I think it is very important to be aware of where the materials we use come from and to be ethical. It's hard to but it's the little steps that add up. Like keeping your bench and floor sweeps for cleaning and reusing. Or finding scrap metal to make jewelry (it's actually more fun in my opinion!). And more importantly being aware and educated on where your materials come from.
