CARBON OFFSETTING - TREES4GOOD

Offset the carbon footprint created by your delivery by donating 50p to Trees4Good. This will pay for one Jatropha plant which "eats" carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen, which offsets carbon emissions and helps the environment.

Climate change and poverty are major problems affecting the world today and are two of the most serious challenges the human race faces. To protect the health and economic well-being of current and future generations we must reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases – primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) - by using the technology, know how and practical solutions that are already at our disposal.

One of the best solutions to counteract CO2 production is the planting of trees. As you are no doubt aware, trees are nature’s solution to balancing the CO2 content in the atmosphere. Basically trees take in CO2 and give out oxygen and people take in oxygen and breathe out CO2. For millennia that balanced nicely – until the industrial revolution came along a couple of centuries ago and now things are no longer working quite so well. It's time for change. It's time to plant.

Trees4Good plant trees. But, more than that, they plant them in parts of the world where they provide both environmental and economic benefits. Their trees will help absorb CO2 while also helping to alleviate poverty in some of the poorest countries on earth. In addition these trees provide oil for bio fuels - an alternative to CO2 producing fossil fuels.

As a company we take our impact on the environment very seriously and as a result, we have become carbon neutral. It takes simple but effective steps to achieve this, for instance, we ensure that we recycle all materials used within our head office and warehouse and we only use recyclable materials within our packaging. These small steps, along with other environmental efforts have enabled us to become carbon neutral...something we are extremely proud of!
