We
believe that conducting honorable business
means making choices that not only benefit the consumer
and our business but more importantly also benefits our planet and all life. We hope that every time you
touch a Natural Rocknob in your home that you will remember
your sacred connection to and dependence on a healthy
earth. May that awareness influence the choices you
make in your everyday life.
 Here are some of the steps we have taken.
1. The stones for Natural Rocknobs are hand-collected
and packed out. No mining or heavy equipment is involved, just a soft-tired garden wagon.
A very few stones from each site are actually the correct
size, shape, and smoothness to be chosen to be a Rocknob,
so no damage is done to any river bed or shoreline.
2. All national and
provincial park rules are absolutely honoured by Natural
Rocknobs. We believe that our parks are a precious
treasure and that stringent measures need to be enforced
to protect them for generations to come. Therefore
stones are NEVER taken from national or provincial
parks of any kind.
3.
All our paper and cardboard packaging has recycled content,
and is not bleached. Our plastic channeled inserts used
for larger orders are 100% recyclable as #4 plastics
in the post-consumer waste stream. For smaller orders,
your package may arrive with another company's logo
on it as we have reused the box.

"It is not simply what a society does to its slaves,
women, blacks, minorities, handicapped children
or future generations, but what it does to
its fauna, flora, species, ecosystems, and
landscapes that reveals the character of that society."

On a deeper level, we are
not individuals – we are inter-beings, inseparably
one with other people.
Our bodies are re-cycled earth
Our emotions are re-cycled energy
Our thoughts are re-cycled information

The roots of responsibility
run out to the ends of the earth and we can no more
isolate our consciences from world issues than we
can fence off our oyster beds from the tides of the
ocean.
