Hello, Earthlings!
We are thrilled to announce that The Earthling Co. is officially a Climate Neutral Certified business! Climate Neutral is a non-profit organization that works to decrease global carbon emissions by helping brands measure, offset, and reduce the carbon they emit.
In order to become Climate Neutral certified, we took 3 major steps:
(1) We investigated and measured every single source of emissions in our business operations in the last year – from the creation of our products, down to the moment your Earthling package hits the doorstep.
(2) With that insight, we purchased a portfolio of carbon credits to offset the 523 metric tons of carbon from our annual operations. More specifically, our carbon credits came from 1% For the Planet non-profit projects focused on climate change solutions, such as household biogas digesters in China and landfill methane capture in the US.
(3) We have also created a plan to go beyond this, and reduce our future emissions. Our plan specifically involves reducing the number of supply chain shipments made via air freight and shifting those shipments to ground freight – a method that has a lower carbon footprint.
The Earthling Co. was built on the belief that collectively, all of us have the power to create a more sustainable and harmonious world. That’s why we are taking responsibility in our business to measure, offset, and reduce our emissions in the fight against climate change. We acknowledge that becoming Climate Neutral certified isn’t a complete or perfect solution, but we believe it’s a step in the right direction for the sustainable world we envision.
Thank you for believing in our mission. We are grateful for you, our fellow Earthlings, for joining us on this journey.
With gratitude,
Emelia & Kevin
