We're excited to share another milestone in our eco-friendly commitment with Ecologi . Starting today, every order placed with Etiko will directly contribute to a reforestation project 🌱. This partnership marks a milestone in our mission to make retail more responsible and environmentally friendly.
Why Ecologi?
Ecologi is much more than just a reforestation platform. They are a leading player in the field of carbon credits, certified by high-quality standards such as the Gold Standard. This label guarantees that each project they support is not only effective in carbon sequestration but also meets strict sustainability and social impact criteria.
How does it work?
For every purchase made on Etiko , a portion of the proceeds is donated to Ecologi to fund the planting of a tree. Ecologi partners with reputable organizations like Eden Reforestation Projects , We Forest, Trees For The Future, Protect Earth , and more to carry out these plantings in critical areas of the globe. These projects are carefully selected based on the most pressing reforestation needs.
The trees planted through these initiatives don't just serve to capture CO2. They play a vital role in restoring degraded ecosystems , preserving biodiversity , and improving the living conditions of local communities. Furthermore, each planting project includes mechanisms to ensure the trees' survival. This includes methods of planting and management adapted to local conditions, and regular monitoring to ensure that the trees grow healthily.
A tangible and measurable impact
Reforestation has measurable and lasting effects. For example, it is estimated that approximately 15 trees can offset one ton of CO2 over a period of 20 years. As these trees grow, they use atmospheric carbon to build their biomass, thus contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases.
At the same time, projects supported by Ecologi often incorporate agroforestry practices, which combine tree planting with agriculture. This provides additional benefits to local communities by providing resources such as fruit, timber and building materials, while providing sustainable employment . These initiatives are designed to support local populations while restoring ecosystems and strengthening the climate resilience.
