Have you noticed the badges throughout our website with the phrase, “ All deliveries are carbon neutral”? It’s true! We’re proud to ship orders 100% carbon neutral using Shopify’s Planet app.
We utilize the app to calculate our carbon footprint per order shipment, then pay a fee to remove the estimated carbon emissions. The app also provides a snapshot of the impact we create in easy-to-understand terms like comparing the total amount of carbon removed to smart phones charged, kilometers driven by a car, flights around the earth, and gallons of gasoline consumed.
We love the Planet app because it specifically focuses on carbon removal, rather than offsetting carbon with forest protection. Shopify partners with more than 20 different organizations targeting carbon removal through their Sustainability Fund. These organizations can be grouped into 9 different sustainable niches: Direct Air Capture, Transportation, Mineralization, Ocean, Biomass, Soil, Forest, Storage, and Product.
