HOW YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE ENVIRONMENT: 🌎
Tagua nuts are an eco-friendly alternative to ivory, traditionally used to make beautiful jewelry and crafts. They're as hard as an elephant's tusk but completely biodegradable when disposed of. The harvesting of Tagua nuts doesn't harm even a single leaf of the tree, and one Tagua tree can produce as much vegetable ivory as a female elephant in just one year!
