We've reached a milestone!

Earlier this year, we joined Ecologi to help plant trees to fight climate change. This is in addition to the tree planting efforts of Shopify through WeForest and their Sustainability Fund. Every order we complete results in one tree being planted. We've passed the 100 trees mark. You can check our progress here

Ecologi is dedicated to reforestation as a natural climate solution. Through the Eden Reforestation Project many of the trees planted are mangrove trees which capture up to four times as much carbon per acre as tropical rainforests. Their root systems are also used by tropical fish for shelter and nurseries.

Fighting climate change requires a multifaceted approach. Planting trees is just one small part of it. Some tree projects are better than others. We have created an infographic to help you determine which ones you might want to contribute to.

3 Features of Good Tree Planting Projects: 1 Planning - include the local community (especially women), have sufficient, transparent funding for the full scope of the project, address causes of deforestation, use appropriate methods for the local context; 2 Planting - protect the existing forest, include variety of plants, native and endangered, maximize biodiversity, use local seedlings and nurseries, right trees/right place; 3 Progress - monitor ecological, social and economic goals, follow progress using global forest watch, scientific studies about project, improve methods
