4.26.13- Home

Today we went to downtown Birmingham! It. Was. Awesome. I'm gonna talk separately about one of the businesses. (Well actually my favorite XD)
Custom Elegance
They're a engraving store! They're definitely our entire group (Group 8: Jake, Bridget, Audrey, Carlie, Brenden and me) favorite. They're extremely nice and they make a lot of products that they engrave. (ie. iPad/iPhone cases, keychains, movie covers, pictures etc.) they use a laser thing to engrave each product, and it is the most green and sustainable laser engraver on the market right now. It doesn't emit any co2 emissions so it doesn't harm the environment. The Tropec company (they made the laser engraver I'm talking about) has won multiple awards for their green products, such as the laser engraver. When the laser engraver is working, it zips back and forth across the wood and has sort of a lighter size fire on it's tip. Even their business cards are sustainable! They have a little layer of wood on the outside which had the info on it, which makes it look like wood, but it's really made of reused materials that they use to engrave. They also reuse their leftover wood to make keychains!
We even got a sign that says 'Joberts' from them! :))))

Just some info for ya!
