What We’re Doing Right Now
Reducing and replacing plastic in our packaging.
We use easily recycled options with a focus on post-consumer recycled content. Example: Our small item packaging is 100% recycled content with up to 95% post-consumer waste.
High efficiency heating, cooling and lighting throughout our building.
Reducing energy consumption contributes to lowering our carbon footprint. Example: Our office is in a 100-year-old renovated building with energy efficiency components built in.
We’ve Pledged to Fund Planting of One Tree for Each Item Sold
Globally deforestation is becoming its own crisis. This is an issue we feel deeply about and are committed to fund the planting of one tree for each item sold on our site. We’ve partnered with the Eden Reforestation Project to give this effort even more impact.
This organization uses reforestation as a means of improving socio-economic landscapes around the world. They hire impoverished locals to plant, nurture, and guard the newly planted forests. It’s an initiative that’s transforming areas and communities in Nepal, Central America, Kenya, Haiti, and more.
We’re Giving Back 1% for the Planet
We’re proud a member of 1% for the Planet. This global movement allows businesses and individuals to support environmental solutions through everyday actions. The organization reviews our sales and donation plan annually to certify our efforts. To date, our contributions have helped fund $250 million in environmental nonprofit solutions.
