There he learned ancient jewelry-making techniques from traditional Balinese silversmiths and incorporated these techniques into designs featuring complex patterns and shapes representing a philosophical harmony inspired the culture's stories, myths and legends. Jewelry Hardy products are sold widely in North America in fine department stores such as Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as other national and international retailers. In July 2007 Hardy sold his stakes in the firm, but remains the company's "Visionary".[1] Environmentalism John Hardy is an environmentalist an advocate of the use of bamboo as an alternative to timber for building and reforestation. His pioneering program of Sustainable Advertising aims to offset the carbon emissions associated with his yearly corporate print advertising by planting bamboo on the island of Nusa Penida. Working collaboratively with the Institute for Sustainable Communication, Hardy concluded that offsetting the carbon emissions associated with all of his print advertisements in the year 2006 would require two hectares of planted bamboo for 6.83 years, a calculation based on the estimated rate of carbon dioxide sequestration for bamboo grown on Nusa Penida. The project also achieves several social and conservation goals, as the bamboo is fully owned and managed by local community groups, while the planted groves provide a habitat for the endangered Bali Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi). In 2007 Hardy and his wife, Cynthia, endowed a new independent school called Green School (Kul-Kul campus) to provide a holistic education to children in a sustainable environment. The school is located in Bali near Ubud. Place a Bid!
