Welcome to the blog section of the website.

In this first post I want to tell you about a part of the business that is very close to our hearts.

We've all seen the change in the weather, seen the articles about the climate challenge and the problems we may face in the future. The fact that as it gets hotter, more forest fires start. More trees are lost and despite every effort that the cleverest minds have come up with, the best thing we can do to rewind the planets problems is planting trees.

Yes, and using a hell of a lot less plastic.

We're committed here to making sure our products only use the minimum of packaging, which reduces the weight that is carried to your door, reducing fuel use and emissions, but also reduces the amount of wast that ends up in the bin and therefore landfill.

Not only that, we actively promote the planting of trees, which costs money to grow and to employ people to make sure the tree is maintained and sustained. So for ever single item, not transaction, we will donate a tree somewhere in the world.
Buy 1 item, we'll plant a tree. Buy 10 items in 1 go and that's 10 trees, not 1.

We're serious about doing this so we're adding a progress chart to the about us page so you can come back at any time and see how we're doing, it's also at the bottom of this post.

Please bare in mind that we're only just launching so figures will start low and build as we get going. We've added this so that you can see we are actually doing it, not just saying it. This is a third party service that we can't manipulate, it increases only by us donating these trees.

So while we are giving oxygen to this cause, we are also making something that makes our entire system work, commerce, have a positive impact on the planet. As a culture we want to celebrate people on birthdays and Christmas, but we also want to minimise the impact that has on the planet we all share too.

Thanks for reading this, you can also donate trees if you wish to by clicking the Plant Trees button.
