How to Green Your Proposal

As we watch the effects of the BP oil spill upon the Gulf of Mexico and it's ecosystem, the message to change our lifestyles or suffer the consequences, is coming in loud and clear. We depend upon this planet to sustain life, and how we choose to treat it affects us all. In order to do your part in making the world a safe place for humans and animals alike, you have to start living an eco-conscious life. This means buying products that are sweat-shop free and ethically-produced and sourced and supporting those companies that are paving the way to a sustainable future.

I am in a committed relationship with a man who lives an eco-conscious life. He refuses to buy diamonds because he knows the the market is flooded with blood diamonds, and he will not support an industry that profits on the backs of violent slave labor and feeds a war that has killed and displaced millions of Africans. I respect and share his belief, but I also love the bling, so to find a solution to this eco-conscious dilemma, I found BrilliantEarth.com.

Their diamonds are comprised of ethically-sourced, conflict-free diamonds, fair-trade gemstones and 100% recycled metals, and 5% of profits are donated to African communities that have been affected by the jewelry trade.This is luxury with a conscience and absolutely no guilt.

If you're planning to propose, then do your part in creating a sustainable future for yourself and future generations. In the world of getting down on one knee, that means finding a diamond that has been ethically sourced and is conflict free.
