Atlas Handmade Beads, a New Orleans small business, offers beads and bracelets made from recycled magazine paper. Each strand is handmade and unique, crafted by a women’s art collective in Uganda. Atlas offers a fair wage that is well above what the artists could normally make, leading to an improvement in not only their lives, but the lives of their children and families.

In addition to having a financial impact on a community far away from the Crescent City, Atlas aims to broaden the appeal of unique, handmade and green Mardi Gras throws. “There is overwhelming support for Mardi Gras to be less wasteful, from both locals and tourists. All you have to do is have a conversation with someone who lives in New Orleans about plastic waste at Mardi Gras, and the odds are that they’re going to say that they’d like to see a more environmentally-friendly Mardi Gras in general.” - Kevin Fitzwilliam
