Modern Living with Kathy Ireland (R) Discusses Sustainability and Fair Trade with The Green Seahorse

    LOS ANGELES, CA, September 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MMP (USA) announces a Modern Living with kathy ireland (R) exclusive interview with Lisa Burnham, owner and founder of The Green Seahorse. Pressing concerns remain about peoples' carbon footprints and the impact of behaviors on the planet. The Green Seahorse provides customers with goods that are sustainably sourced and environmentally friendly, allowing customers to purchase products they can feel confident using.

The Green Seahorse strives to make an impact on peoples' lives and provide consumers with products that they can feel good about buying. Customers have the benefit of purchasing items that demonstrate the beauty and creativity of people from a wide variety of cultures in numerous countries. Products are made using local, sustainably harvested and renewable materials, minimizing the environmental impact of these purchases. By providing eco-friendly goods that are sustainably sourced and environmentally friendly, we start the domino effect going in the correct direction toward a conscious consumerism.

The Green Seahorse shares stories about the artisans and educates customers through their Eco-Blog. Consumers can actually have more of a positive affect than most people realize; particularly on sensitive and at-risk ecosystems, such as the Amazon Rainforest. They strive to serve as a voice for a variety of artisans worldwide who are protected by laws and rules governed by the Fair Trade Federation and the World Fair Trade Federation. Says Lisa Burnham, "By ensuring that products are created by protected artisan groups, we know we are helping to end struggles with poverty, and hardships with working and living conditions in developed and non-developed countries.

JL Haber, Vice President of Programming of Modern Living with kathy ireland (R), stated, "In recent years, people have become increasingly concerned about where the goods they buy come from and the impact of these goods on the local economy and the environment. When we heard about the work of The Green Seahorse to bring high quality goods from local artists around the world to local customers to encourage fair trade and sustainable practices, we knew immediately we wanted them on the show."

Founder of The Green Seahorse is visual artist, graphic designer and photographer Lisa Burnham. As a long time art educator and recipient of a Master's Degree in Fine Art, Lisa noticed a trend in the global craft marketplace, "Being green has influenced a huge uprising in all manner of makers making. That has inspired our artisan marketplace, where we showcase a variety of innovations in eco-art and culture." She created a global business to give a voice to the current culture. Lisa's personal blog illustrates the many aspects of art marketing and sharing art online, it can be found at Creative Branding.

Lisa's interview can be seen on the main page of Modern Living and on The Green Seahorse Blog.
