Sustainability Made Simple
We've all benefited from traditional commerce. It's convenient, accessible but it's hurting our planet. Big business is using up finite resources to create products that are designed to end up in the landfill, which are packaged in plastic that will outlive your great great great grandchildren.
EarthHero's growing list of brands are committed to doing business differently. They use better materials from renewable resources, organic and recycled content, and sustainably harvested materials that cut down on finite resource extraction, energy, and water usage. Instead of classic production methods, our brands are redesigning production by reusing excess materials, employing things like solar power for energy, and using fewer chemicals in their products. The end result is an overall lower carbon footprint as a company, both in our zero waste office, and throughout our shipping emissions partnership with Carbonfund.
From start to finish, our brands are proud to be setting a new standard for what it means to be a sustainable business. And frankly, so is EarthHero. We're raising the bar on transparency‚Äìtrading buzzwords like ‚greenfor third-party organic certifications, and natural with information about what actually makes that product natural. In short, we're moving towards a more sustainable future‚Äìand we need your help.
By supporting brands on EarthHero, you support shifting our economy in favor of companies that are doing better. You're voting with your dollar, telling companies that you want better materials, more ethical practices, and a charitable component. Not only will every product sold support this system of conscious commerce, but EarthHero is also part of 1% for the Planet. This means that EarthHero donates 1% of total sales towards environmental nonprofits‚ spreading their impact even further!
But we don't just talk the talk‚ we walk the walk. We're committed to a zero waste office, reducing our waste as a company by composting everything we can‚ and recycling or reusing the rest. Our shipping boxes are made from post-consumer paper, and we reuse or recycle the boxes that arrive at the EarthHero warehouse. Through education and volunteer opportunities, we make sure the entire team is educated about proper waste sorting, with skills they can take home with them.
At the end of the day, our mission is to make sustainable shopping so simple, everyone can do it.
