EcoEtsy’s Mission
As a global team of eco-minded Etsy sellers, our mission is dedicated to protecting our planet by utilizing methods to reduce carbon footprints in managing our businesses and leading our personal lives in the most eco-friendly manner. We are just as determined to use recycled materials in our creations as we are about recycling packaging materials. We take the safety of the environment in mind in the way that we manage our businesses and create our items. We strive to grow as a team that focuses on promoting eco-living in our personal lives as well as in our businesses, and educating others about the importance of being environmentally responsible.
Members of EcoEtsy 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 that communicates through Etsy, forums, chat rooms, blogs, emails, and social media such as Yahoo Group, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and Flickr. We come together to host contests, special events, fund raisers, team wide-sales, promo swaps and other fun activities, to promote and support each other.
