May is Endangered Species Month, and our tree planting partner Eden Projects just shared some cool news with us!
They recently added 13 additional acres of land in Madagascar to use as a conservatory and rehabilitation center for endangered wildlife such as lemurs, crocodiles, tortoises, and chameleons.
I'm a big fan of wildlife conservation like this - dedicating land to use for learning and education about our environment and coexisting with nature.
We're happy to support such a great organization making positive impacts in the world.
Eden Projects helps people get people out of poverty (planting trees), restoring the environment (planting trees) and helping endangered animals (more trees yes!).
About Eden and Our Partnership
Eden Projects has planted over 200,000,000 trees on planet Earth.
They hire locals to help plant and care for the trees. They plant in Nepal, Madagascar, Haiti, and Ethiopia. For every sale of our Water Bottles or Leaf Leather Accessories, we donate to plant trees through their organization.
If you've been around our online Tribe, you'll have noticed that we sometimes use the lotus flower on a lot of our product designs, from eco water bottles, to shirts and hoodies. But why? If you're thinking "because it's a cool flower", you're not wrong. But it's so much more than that! 🪷
Our team takes a lot of time and effort to find the best way to bring you threads that come from the best eco-friendly manufacturing procedures, resulting in superb quality that helps Mother 🌎. We think we landed on the best of the best!
Whether you're celebrating with a long hike in the mountains or recommitting to best practices, below are a few of our tried-and-true small steps that, collectively, make a BIG impact!
In 2022, thanks to supporters like YOU, we were able to plant over 1300 trees through our partners with Trees for the Future, Eden Projects, American Forests, and Cirenas! That means that together we have planted over 460,000 trees!
