Since then, Toby has been dedicated to cultivating industry-wide support for a socially and environmentally responsible gold supply chain and a purpose-driven jewelry industry. He founded Mercury Free Mining (MFM) in 2017, a nonprofit organization committed to the discovery and deployment of mercury-free processes for the health of 20 million artisanal and small-scale gold miners and the environment upon which we all depend. MFM is fostering and implementing safe, efficient, mercury-free gold mining methods, and focusing on establishing a certified mercury-free gold supply chain to match industry demand. With a mission to eradicate the use of mercury in gold mining, MFM stands for the jewelry industry’s interdependence and solidarity with artisanal and small-scale gold miners around the world. ▶︎ https://mercuryfreemining.org ▶︎ Learn more about Mercury Free Mining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7ezY_fy1Xw&t=634s Connect with Stephanie: ▶︎ Website | https://www.stephanietrager.com ▶︎ Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/stephanietragercatalysttalks ▶︎ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/stephanietrager ▶︎ Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/stephanietrager
