|  | Earth Day is fast approaching. For one day, millions of people will pitch in to plant trees, sort recyclables,or simply turn out the lights in a global salute to the earth.
For Green Aura too, the goal is an environmentally friendly and sound world, and our path is bags.
All products our are made from eco-friendly materials, mainly jute and canvas.
Apart from grocery bags and shopping bags, we also carry wine or candle bags, even hand painted bags that work well as gifts for all occasions.
Charity is another aim for the Green Aura family. Green Aura was created with many generous intentions in mind.
A portion of the profits go directly to the families that make the bags in India, helping to put their children through schooling.
We also take part in numerous charity events throughout the year, trading bags for such good-will acts as food or book donations.

Diamond Facts
Most people are unaware of the role diamonds play in bringing real benefits to people in the countries around the world where diamonds are sourced. Nowhere is this more evident than in Africa. It is also in Africa that this same resource has been used to fund conflict. In 2000, a coalition of governments, non-governmental organizations and the diamond industry worked together to address this issue. In 2002, they established the Kimberley Process Certification System, a UN-backed process that has virtually eliminated the trade in conflict diamonds. Today, over 99% of the world's supply of diamonds is from sources free of conflict. Diamondfacts.org is dedicated to presenting the facts about conflict diamonds, along with how diamonds are driving economic growth and prosperity in countries around the world.

|  | "Before you finish eating breakfast this morning, you've depended on more than half the world. This is the way our universe is structured. We aren't going to have peace on earth until we recognize this fact."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
We are all consumers, that is an inevitable truth, but we do not have to be blind consumers. We are all bombarded on a daily basis with media and advertisements convincing us to spend our hard-earned dollars on things we don't need without so much as a thought as to where these things come from and what sacrifices were made along the way to bring them to us.
If we were all made aware of the human indignities and environmental consequences involved in most of our purchases, perhaps most of us would think twice before we forked over our hard-earned cash.
We, as consumers, have the power to change things. The almighty dollar speaks volumes, and where you spend yours is a great way to let your voice be heard. read all merchant facts |  |
"Many people don't realize that the Printing Industry is the single largest polluter in the world. It is also the third largest consumer of fossil fuels following the automobile and steel-manufacturing industries. The paper and pulp industry is the third largest industrial contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.! We have worked long and hard at the McKenzie Art Studio to find a way to create an Eco Friendly Collectible Art Print that is from Start-to-Finish, earth friendly", says Manager Steven Rice, "We have done just that!"

| | ''Stop Blood Diamonds''is an organization pledged to stopping the exploitation of the diamond trade by human rights abusers.
Blood diamonds, often called conflict diamonds, are mined in war torn African countries by rebels to fund their conflict. The rebels grossly abuse human rights, often murdering and enslaving the local populations to mine the diamonds.
We can stop this by purchasing legitimate diamonds. Botswana used to be a poor farm country but today its government works hand in hand with the Diamond industry to give Botswana a living standard 7 times higher than its neighbors.
Make sure your jeweler stops the blood diamonds trade by supporting conflict free diamonds. read all merchant facts |  |

Bamboo is a wonderfully sustainable resource. It is naturally organic because it is grown without pesticides or chemicals, is 100% biodegradable, and is naturally regenerative.
SustainableMoso bamboo is the world’s most prolific and fastest-growing plant. Bamboo is able to reach maturity in about four years. Bamboo is a grass, so once cut it will regenerate in the same way as your garden lawn.
Bamboo is planted and grown on family-owned farms that have been in agricultural use for generations. None of the fiber comes from tropical forests, nor are any panda habitats depleted or compromised.
Eco-Friendly
Bamboo absorbs 35% more carbon dioxide than equivalent stands of trees. More bamboo would help to cut the globally rising levels of carbon dioxide and help in the fight against global warming.
Bamboo Fabric is luxuriously soft, absorbent, breathable, thermo-regulating, antibacterial and hypoallergenic—perfect for baby’s extra sensitive skin. read all merchant facts
|  | From the periodic table of elements we are familiar with 94 natural elements. Pure,
unrefined organic sea salt contains 84 of these elements, excluding only 10 inert
gases from the list. These elements are identical to those of which our bodies are built.
Likewise, a mother's amniotic fluid in which a human embryo grows over 3 billion
times in weight is chemically very similar to the original primal ocean.
Bathing in a sea salt bath is recommended for skin diseases, rheumatism, joint
diseases, after operations, gynecological problems, & for children prone to infection to
strengthen the immune system and detoxify the body. Minerals penetrate the skin in
the form of ions stimulating natural cell growth. Bio-energetic weak points will be
balanced and the body's own energy flow will be re-activated. The detoxifying effect
after a sea salt bath can be compared to a 3 day fast. Isn't it time you soaked up some
of the sea's nourishing health benefits?
