35 Dear Friends, We started IceStone to create a company our families would be proud of. We focus on the triple bottom line by maintaining our concern for people, the planet, and profits. Our company is proud to create green collar jobs and a business that can thrive and grow right here in the great U.S.A. (Brooklyn, NY to be exact)! Our product is not only beautiful, but it actively reduces the amount of glass in the waste stream. In the last year, we removed over 10 million glass bottles from the landfill and turned them into a sustainable, healthy material for your home or business. Every time you choose IceStone, you are doing your part to improve the planet for future generations. So, next time you are enjoying a glass of wine or bottle of beer, raise your glass to IceStone and know you are doing your part to help create the greenest countertop on the planet! Thanks for helping us change the world, one countertop at a time. Cheers, Miranda Magagnini & Peter Strugatz IceStone Founders & co-ceos
