Today I received an order of silver that I had made a huge mistake ordering. I was in a rush to get back to Maebh and putting the order through quickly and I ordered standard sterling silver rather than the recycled sterling ecosilver I usually use. It was a decent bit of metal too probably the next two months worth of stock 🙁 I nearly cried! I phoned my supplier to ask about swapping it and as I was expecting to be honest, I was told that most of it would then be melted down before being resold as it was cut to my measurements. I would get scrap value losing about 50% of the value and perfectly good silver would have to be refined again with all the inherent wasted energy. So to truly be able to say I am using eco silver over the next 2 months I would be wasting energy in terms of delivery back to the refinery, and then the refining energy and I admit I would be quite a bit out of pocket too. I don’t really think thats the environmentally friendly answer.  I could of course have not said anything, and just continued on, but that feels wrong and I always want to try my best to be honest and transparent! So I’m sorry!  So what I have decided is, I will use this metal, and since it is cheaper then I would have paid for the ecosilver, I will for April and May, donate 15% of my silver sales from my own site and 10% of my silver sales from @etsy to an environmental charity, and I’m going to choose @xrebellionuk  to donate to in April and @friends_earth in May.  #nogreenwashing #ethicalshopping #mistakes #tryingmybest #ecosilver #silver #donate #environment #environmentallyfriendly #footprint (at Caerphilly) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHz5XJANzj/?igshid=1unvbnu2kqwl0
