Carbon Neutral Shipping
Every mile we ship is offset.
Getting your order to your door has a footprint. We offset our shipping emissions by protecting old-growth rainforest from illegal logging, keeping forests standing for the communities and wildlife that depend on them.
Our impact
What our offsets protect
The project
Acapa – Bajo Mira y Frontera, Colombia
Alongside planting new trees, we help protect the forests that are already standing. Through Pachama, we support the Acapa – Bajo Mira y Frontera forest conservation project in Colombia, which protects old-growth rainforest from illegal timber extraction.
Logging has long been a major source of income in the region, and degraded forest is often cleared for farms and pasture. The project tackles that pressure at its root: it helps communities secure land titles, plan land use and mark conservation zones, and builds the skills to manage the land themselves. With the communities owning and governing the project, there's far less reason to cut.
Beyond carbon
Better livelihoods, standing forests
Deforestation here is driven by economics, so the project creates better-paying alternatives. It funds the infrastructure, training and financing for families to sustainably harvest forest products like açaí, and to grow and sell crops like cocoa on land that's already been cleared.
Local communities have been involved from the start, forming Community Councils with legal representatives and a General Assembly that elects them, so the people closest to the forest are the ones making decisions about it.

Protecting forests and planting new ones
Every order also plants three trees through our Tree Planting Initiative.
