Extending Our EcoImpact with Carbon Offsetting

To extend our ecoimpact this Earth Month, we are paying to carbon offset the shipping emissions footprint for all orders placed in April through investments in the Harvey Manning Park Preservation.

We are also carbon offsetting the footprints of all EcoEnclose products on orders over $1000 through investments in the The NativState - Bottomland Forests of the Mississippi Delta and Coastal Plains.

How much carbon has been offset?
April 15, 2024 - 165,5688 lbs | 75.1 tonnes

What is carbon offsetting?

Carbon offsetting is a practice aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to counterbalance the environmental impact of certain activities or processes. The concept is based on the idea of balancing out carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced in one place or by one activity by investing in projects that reduce or remove an equivalent amount of CO2 elsewhere.

How are we calculating our carbon offset?

Each week of April 2024, we pull a list of orders over $1,000, total up the quantity of each product, and use our sustainability calculator to determine the bulk offset amount.
