Episode description
This month in Over the Counter, Kyle Bullock has his mind on conservation.
In the latest episode of his podcast, the owner of Bullock's Jewelry in Roswell, NM, tells a series of interconnected stories related to efforts big and small to make the jewelry industry more friendly to consumers, communities and the planet.
These efforts range from the ultra high-profile work of the Diamond Producers Association to promote more responsible diamond mining to the almost entirely overlooked efforts of one of Kyle's own employees, Sherri, who hoards used scraps of paper so they can be re-used in the office.
Kyle asks her why she does this.
"To help the environment," she says. "And to save money."
"But paper is cheap!" says Kyle.
"Not to the trees," Sherri answers.
Can't argue that.
The very important message? Every little bit helps. And no matter what your role in the industry, everybody can do something. Why not start today?
