Considering a ring for your spouse? How about a synthetic diamond? Opinions?

16. Why do liberals have to be the ones to make them? They're already being made ...

and I doubt political idealism has anything to do with whoever owns the companies that make them.

Do you know how synthetic diamonds are made? what I mean is have you researched to see if making synthetics damages teh environment? It probably does. Chemicals are no doubt used in the process.

There is almost nothing you can consume that doesn't harm the environment in some way. The best you can do is control the damage, and hopefully do enough to put back to compensate for the damage.

Do you have formica countertops? Damaging to environment. Not recyclable. Granite countertops - mega damaging to environment. But they are recyclable.

Get what you want, and enjoy it. As long as no animal dies for it, I'm okay with it. (No leather seats in cars!!!! Unless you're okay going into your backyard and slitting the throat of a cow or lamb so you can sit your butt on it...then leather seats are not okay.)
