We’ve given you the low-down on the badness of factory outsourcing, and showed off some of the American-made children’s items we have to offer in our store, but now it’s time to haul out the big (green) guns! Keep reading to learn more about some of our featured products that are 100% made in the USA.
Fire & Light creates gorgeous, eye-catching dinnerware from recycled glass. The company was started as a partnership between a Californian recycling center and a group of local investors who wanted to put crushed post-consumer glass to good use, and continues to be an operation run entirely out of the USA. Everything is sourced and created domestically, from the scrap glass, to the pigments, to the artisans working to melt the glass in furnaces and reshape it into bowls and plates. In fact, Fire & Light is so keen on incorporating recycling into every aspect of their production process, they even use recycled beer kegs as vats to cool their glass-pouring ladles!
If your home is the sort of place where glass simply wouldn’t be reasonable (we’re looking at you, owners of large dogs and clumsy-yet-inquisitive children), check out our line of products by Preserve! Their dinnerware and mixing bowls are made from recycled plastic, with recycled post-consumer paper for packaging, and are produced entirely in America. Preserve products are also BPA and melamine free, as well as being extremely sturdy, so they’re perfect for taking on the go– or just feeding your rambunctious brood!
At The Greener Good, we’re proud of the American-made products we sell, and believe they’re made with the highest degree of quality and craftsmanship! If you’re a fan of domestic production, job creation, and the obliteration of the rising trade deficit (and, to be honest, we’re kind of judging you if you aren’t), please consider supporting a company that sources and manufactures their goods in the USA! For more American-made products and helpful anecdotes, come see us in-store at 925 Foch Street, Fort Worth, TX. Here at The Greener Good, it’s all good!
