Sustainable Sourcing and Himalasalt

Found this cool Himalasalt website the other day, all about Sustainable Sourcing and a cleverly named product called Himalasalt, described on the site like this:

HimalaSalt™ is the Purest Salt on Earth™. While there are many pink Himalayan sea salts on the market, HimalaSalt™ is the only Ethically Sourced, Artisan Made Himalayan Pink Sea Salt that is Kosher Certified, Green-e Certified (made by 100% renewable wind and solar energy), sustainably packaged, with 5% of profits going to the environment and back to the source community.

The site is more environmentally conscious and well-meaning than I am, by a lot, but it's hard not to be swept away by a pristine product that's been around for millions of years, and is good for our health and our planet. Read on:

Hand-harvested from a protected source deep within the exotic and remote Himalayas, HimalaSalt remains free of impurities, unlike refined table salt or salt from today's widely polluted oceans. himasalt The benefits of pure, fine salt may be obvious to you, but I needed the help of the website to explain.
