VRAI’s Post

I see you proudly use 100% of the extensive electrical power needed for the manufacture of your lab grown diamond production from the hydroelectric production on the Colombia River in Washington state. Have you addressed the destruction of critical fish habitat due to the hydroelectric dams on the Colombia River? Your"clean energy" is not as environmentally pure as some say. Nearly 90% of salmon spawning areas have been lost right there in the Colombia and Snake River due to the dams which create the electricity used in your diamond production. I would encourage your company to donate financially and politically in a significant effort to mitigate the hidden environmental impact of your use of the electricity. "No guilt" is a matter of perspective. I hope that VRAI is truly concerned with the environment and takes your green message to heart. Until then your green is not that green.

No mining? No emissions? MARKETING BULL$#!+ 😂

This is the worst post ever - where do you think the source material for your synthetics comes from? The materials for presses and CVD reactors? The uranium to produce energy? The coal to produce energy - the giant amounts of energy you guys suck out of the planet to create your worthless synthetics? The CH4? The graphite? I am sure that all grows on trees that you plant in your garden! Pathetic! But congratulations to an industry just falling below 100 USD per carat for +1 ct synthetic diamond, well done!!

Created = synthetic diamonds. “Created” in factories with electricity from coal-fired power stations. With HPHT and CVD machines made from metals coming out——mines !

What diamond mine is this?

Human activities have indeed been causing significant harm to our planet in various ways. Here are some key points illustrating how human actions are impacting the Earth: Overexploitation of Resources**: Overfishing, mining, and unsustainable agriculture deplete natural resources, disrupting ecosystems. Addressing these issues requires a combination of policy changes, technological innovations, and individual actions aimed at promoting sustainability and protecting the environment.

Where is the romanticism in a diamond created in a laboratory? It simply does not exist! And also, totally agree with Jeffery

"Usually, the energy to accomplish this comes from fossil and other non-renewable fuels. On average, producing one polished carat of lab-grown diamond releases 511 kg of greenhouse gases, more than three times that of one polished carat of mined diamond" from Google AI

Please 🙏please stop greenwashing on both side, one way or the other there is a cost and after effect. Let’s look at which one can bring best help to humanitarian and not keep all their money in their pocket.
