Offsetting Carbon Emissions from Deliveries
How are we doing our bit to help the planet?
For every item sold, we donate a % to support a company called Ecologi (https://ecologi.com/), who are dedicated to improving our planet, by tree planting and carbon reduction projects.
Here is a little bit more about Ecologi (credit Ecologi):
Our collective home is in the process of being turned totally upside down which is leading to strife for almost all life on Earth. We know it’s preventable. And we know it’s not going to save itself. So, it is up to us to solve it. But what levers can we pull? Reducing our carbon footprint is entirely necessary, but the transition of change is far slower than the time we have remaining. The tools that we associate with fighting climate change are inadequate. What if that changed and the billions of us who care became empowered? There are enough climate solutions that are out there right now, that if we supported them, it’d undo 30 years of carbon damage by avoiding 1,500 billion tonnes of CO2. This is our opportunity.
Tree planting (credit Ecologi and the Eden Reforestation Project):
It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. They are also crucial to preventing ecological collapse.
Our tree planting partner The Eden Reforestation Project plant millions of trees around the world each month. We are currently supporting their incredible work in Madagascar.
Carbon reduction (credit Ecologi):
At Ecologi we invest your money into projects that remove more greenhouse gasses than your own carbon footprint puts in.
Each month we support a range of carbon reduction projects that are certified at the very highest level by Gold Standard and equivalent.
