Acailawen Designs is a green couture jewelry & accessory design label, dedicated to eco-friendly practices on an ongoing, daily basis. As a designer that lives a green lifestyle, my goal is to remain carbon neutral and produce environmentally friendly designs. As a company, we practice the three R`s of living and working green (reduce, reuse & recycle). I have signed the *No Dirty Gold* pledge to end dirty gold mining practices. To learn more about the No Dirty Gold campaign, discover the ugly truth about the mining industry, and see what you can do to help, visit the No Dirty Gold website at www.nodirtygold.org

Look for an upcoming article here in The Buzz section in coming weeks on what it means to me to be a green designer, how I have incorporated various green design practices to reduce my carbon footprint and how going green is an important part of our lives. I’ll also share some ideas and resources that you can use to be more green, too.
