EcoEtsy's Mission
Our members are just as dedicated to using recycled materials in their creations as they are about recycling packaging. We take the safety of the environment in mind in the way that we run our small businesses and create our sales items. During our team's growth, we have become heavily focused on promoting eco-living as a whole; every facet of our lifestyle can be more eco-friendly, and our team has come to focus strongly on this all-around outlook.
Members of Eco Etsy work together to:
- Raise funds for non-profit organizations, through auctions, sales, etc.
- Find attractive ways to reuse packaging materials
- Find promotional materials that are Eco-friendly
- Promote Etsy through the creative reuse and labeling of packaging
- Actively participate in the Eco Etsy Yahoo group, and other web based groups for the team.
- Create a list of tips for sellers who want their shops to be more "green"
- Educate buyers and sellers on the importance of reuse
We are a global team who communicate through chat rooms, blogs, email, and other web based groups such as Yahoo, Flickr, Twitter and myspace. We come together to host contests, special events, fund raisers, team wide-sales, promo swaps and other fun activities, as well as to promote and support each other.
