The Elegant Roots blog is associated with our e-boutique of eco-friendly and socially-responsible fine gifts.

While our Blog will always be rooted in ER’s core values — Quality, Relevance, Transparency, Encouragement and Responsibility, ER Values Description, it will feature entertaining and relevant news, media, and compelling ideas.

The ER blogger-in-chief is co-founder Rob Favole. A short bio in free association format: Silversmith, special ed teacher, lawyer, novelist. Runner, bicyclist, reader, cinephile, choc lab pal, lately politically active. Roosevelt of Long Island, Buffalo of NY, Woodstock, march on Washington, Tucson, San Francisco, Oakland, Auburn of Sierra foothills, Hong Kong. Cyperspace. Questions?

Turn in for occasional guest bloggers.

We’ll host micro-fiction writing contests.

Our Blog celebrates challenging debate, but it isn’t the place to praise or critique our specific gift offerings or the way we do business. For that kind of input, we sincerely invite use of the  Contact Us Page.

For more details, check out our initial blog — the maiden bloggage, as it were.
