Etsy is an online marketplace that connects buyers to individual artists. The site Green Prophet, an environmentalist website, recently wrote a feature on Israeli Etsy artists that support the environment.
Etsy, for those who don’t yet know, is an online forum for handmade products. The handmade revolution is green in and of itself, since it attempts to reduce reliance on machine (and electricity powered) made products, but Etsy goes even greener than that. Etsy makes it easy to shop green by making it easy to shop localand search for products made from recycled or eco-friendly materials through their “ecoetsy” category.
Many Israeli Etsy sellers (who have all been featured on Green Prophet already – click on their names to see the full feature) are making our shopping very green and fun. We thought it would be helpful for you to have their names on your shopping list, maybe to make your Passover gift shopping a little more environmentally friendly?
If you are interested, these artists sell products ranging from handmade dolls and bags to mugs and even Maccabee beer bottle art. This is a great way to support both Israel and the environment, two things of which I am a big fan.
