Eco Chic & Versatile Drawstring Bag | Shadowed Sanctuary Design

Yes and No. While every physical product we sell does have an impact in some regard, we also have to concede to the fact that we live in a consumer society, and most people want something physical in return for their money. That's why we have done our best to address this challenge. Our approach is twofold:

1. Sustainability and Longevity: We are committed to providing products that are made in a sustainable way. We meticulously choose materials and production processes that minimize harm to the environment. Additionally, we only offer products designed for a long lifetime of use. This means less frequent replacements and less overall waste, reducing the negative impact associated with the disposable culture.
2. Positive Impact Through Restoration: By purchasing products from us, the positive impacts they leave from our contributions to landscape restoration far outweigh any negative ones. We allocate a portion of our proceeds to various landscape restoration initiatives. These efforts focus on rehabilitating ecosystems, planting trees, and supporting biodiversity. Your purchase helps us make a tangible, positive difference in the world.

However, if you are genuinely concerned about contributing to the production and shipping of products and prefer a more direct approach to environmental preservation, we offer an alternative. Our original and favorite offering is the option to contribute solely to landscape restoration:

Landscape Restoration Pledge: This option is free from shipping and production, meaning your entire pledge goes directly towards improving the health of our planet. Although you won't receive anything physical in the post, rest assured that many things will be happening that your eyes can't see. Your support will lead to real, positive changes in the environment. As a token of our appreciation, you'll also receive a digital certificate as a memento for your tremendous deed.

As an Australian registered Non for Profit, our business is not just obligated, but dedicated to environmental sustainability and using business as a force for good.

We are proud to offer a guarantee to our customers that our planting practices are of the highest quality and that every tree funded will be planted.

Our guarantee includes a minimum survival rate for planted trees, and we work closely with local communities to ensure that our planting practices are sustainable and respectful of the environment.

To ensure transparency in our operations, we provide detailed information about our planting receipts and employ an independent third-party auditor to evaluate our practices annually.

Our auditor is a reputable environmental consulting firm that uses a rigorous evaluation process to ensure that we are fulfilling our promises to our customers and supporting the local communities where we plant trees.

We are committed to making a positive impact on the environment through our planting initiatives.

We restore land in deforested areas and support reforestation initiatives that promote biodiversity, sequester carbon, and restore degraded landscapes.

While a portion of your contribution goes towards covering the costs of running our business, such as acquiring new clients and transaction fees, we are a Non For Profit business that is committed to using our resources to support sustainable practices and make a positive impact on the environment.

In summary, you can trust that your money is being converted into trees through our commitment to social and environmental responsibility, rigorous planting practices, independent auditing, and support for sustainable initiatives.

Absolutely!

There are billions of people around the world who are concerned about the future of our planet, but may not know how to make a meaningful impact.

That's where our platform comes in - we provide an easy and affordable way to make a significant contribution to climate positivity.

If you're able to spend money on luxury items like barista-made coffee, new clothes, and filling up your petrol tank, then giving back to the planet should be seen as a small social obligation.

By supporting our initiative, you'll be helping to plant millions of trees, offset huge amounts of CO2, create valuable employment opportunities, and restore habitat for countless creatures.

Our goal is to drive positive change through collective action, and with your contribution, we can achieve it.

So, rest assured that every little bit counts and together, we can make a difference.

Reforestation programs in developing countries serve as a beneficial form of aid by not only mitigating carbon emissions but also promoting better health and reducing poverty for those living in vulnerable regions.

The individuals residing in developing countries often have a significantly lower carbon footprint than those living in developed nations, yet they suffer the most from the consequences of climate change.

Opting for reforestation projects in developing nations allows for a more significant socioeconomic and environmental impact compared to investing in similar initiatives in developed countries.

Locals in our project locations are educated and employed to propagate and plant the species.

These are generally people from communities who are suffering from the effects of climate change and deforestation but have no ability to make a change on their own.

They are paid fair wages and receive medical and holiday benefits as well. This employment is absolutely life-changing for these communities.

For all orders over $75, we gladly front the shipping costs

Due to the range of products we offer and to the number of countries, shipping and taxes are different for each customers.

These are calculated upon checkout.

If you are just funding trees and landscape restoration, no tax or shipping is applied.

For physical products, there will be a shipping fee and tax applied at checkout. Because most of our products are print on demand, the more products you purchase should only require a one time shipping fee rather than shipping for each product

After you place an order it usually takes between 2-5 days to make your product/s. We choose this method to avoid over production, limiting any excessive waste or CO2.

The items are then packed and shipped and depending on your location, this shipping can take between 5 & 15 days.

At checkout, once you've entered your address, you will be given an estimated delivery time plus tracking to keep track of your products progress
