Audemars Piguet Ahead of Their Time in Going Green
Audemars Piguet is a favorite among celebrities like Usher and Patrick Dempsey, a brand of choice for political officials like James Carville and Stefania Prestigiacomo and preferred by athletes such as Anthony Kim and Frank Lampard. But did you know that by purchasing a watch from this Piguet`s exquisite Royal Oak Collection you’d be a friend to the environment too? As stated on the Audemars Piguet website, they`ve been serving the forests since 1992. That is the year that marked the twentieth anniversary of the Royal Oak Collection, and the creation of a non-for-profit- Swiss law foundation geared toward contributing a safeguard for forests around the world through environmental protection and awareness. Specifically the foundation raises youth awareness through activities like planting and caring for areas of greenery particularly in under- privileged neighborhoods. In turn, these efforts have helped not only these children but also their parents and families by means of preserving biodiversity and recognizing the value of traditional skills and knowledge. The foundation also seeks to ensure that these principles are handed down to future generations. It`s wonderful to see a company of such renown embracing the sage advice of the Native American People who provided the inspiration of this blog `We Do Not Inherit the Earth From Our Fathers; We Are Borrowing It From Our Children.` Thank you Audemars Piguet, we`re sure the trees are thanking you too!
