We have to compensate the carbon footprint of our workshops. We can't keep putting it off. One of the contradictions of our trade is that we love clay and nature, which is why we work with its elements.
Yes, but at the same time we contaminate ferociously and reflect very little on it. All the materials we use are extracted through mining processes that have a great impact on the environment and the health of workers. Furthermore, these materials come from very distant places, sometimes from the other side of the ocean or the continent. We contaminate the water with concentrated minerals present in our enamels and the combustion of the kiln and the alchemy of the enamels release a large amount of carbon monoxide and dioxide, as well as many other gases. Did you know that 50% of the calcium carbonate present in a glaze is released as carbon dioxide during burning? It's time to give back to the earth. We owe him our wonderful trade and we have to compensate him for his losses.
DONATE A TREE... hopefully several times a year. This is how we will create our POTTERY FOREST. You can donate at www.reforestemos.org or at another foundation of your choice.
