Golden Opportunity to Alleviate Poverty

[Flabbergasted]

Most consumers don't know where the gold in their products comes from, or how it is mined. Too often gold mining displaces communities, contaminates drinking water, hurts workers, and destroys pristine environments.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The No Dirty Gold campaign has called on jewelry retailers to commit to more responsible mining practices for gold. Some retailers such as Tiffany’s have become leaders on this issue. The retailers above have consistently lagged behind; despite the large volume of gold they sell each day.

Target, Wal-Mart, JC Penney and Sears/Kmart are among the largest retailers of gold jewelry in the United States.

Tell these companies you care about the human rights, labor and environmental conditions under which gold is produced. Urge them to buy gold that is more responsibly-mined.
