Ask Umbra |
| Dear Umbra, Help! I am getting married soon and I need to know what I should do about rings. I know that mining for metals and gems is very destructive, and I am also concerned about supporting civil war in Africa through a diamond purchase. Is my only environmentally friendly option to forgo the engagement and wedding rings? Thanks, Kathleen, Oakland, Calif. Dearest Kathleen, Good for you for caring, and congratulations on you ... |
