CO2? Climate change? Sustainability? We plant trees with GROW MY TREE!

Let's start with the topic of CO2: We humans produce around 9,600 kg of CO2 per year through our consumption, diet, travel and energy consumption, and therefore make a significant contribution to climate change. So what can we do to neutralize these CO2 emissions?

One way to contribute to reducing CO2: give something back to nature and protect the forests + plant trees. As a magical wonder of nature, they absorb CO2 from the air and use it as an energy source for their roots, trunk, branches, leaves and needles. A tree converts approx. 22 kg of harmful carbon dioxide into oxygen per year through photosynthesis. And it does this all by itself with the pure power of nature.

So does this mean that trees help us to naturally convert the CO2 emissions we cause and thus make the world a better place? YES!

Unfortunately, it sounds easier than it is. We are losing around 30 million hectares of precious forest every year due to deforestation . Climate change is thus extremely accelerated and numerous animals lose their protection and habitat.

What exactly can we do about it? This is where the individual tree comes into play again. If everyone planted as many trees as they emit CO2, we could slow down climate change enormously. And here, too, we have a simple figure for you: 440 newly planted trees per capita neutralize our total CO2 emissions for a lifetime.

So what are we waiting for?

Let's make the world greener again together!

We at her1 already pay particular attention to sustainability with our packaging, try to avoid unnecessary (plastic) waste and ship our products to you in a climate-friendly way throughout Germany with DHL GOGREEN. And have you ever thought about upcycling? You can turn our refillable jars into great vases, for example, or use them as tea light jars during the cold season. They'll definitely get you in the Christmas spirit!

We also pay attention to naturalness and purity when choosing our ingredients: where possible, we obtain all raw materials from European or certified organic sources and have our products bottled in Germany.

But that's not enough for us! That's why we've come up with something great as a highlight for the upcoming Black Friday and the pre-Christmas period:

With GROW MY TREE at our side, we want to fight even harder against climate change together.

For every order you place, we will plant a tree from her1!

We donate your share to GROW MY TREE, who have already planted over 300,000 trees. With just one more tree , you permanently neutralize approx. 0.23% of your CO2 emissions!

And that's not all, you are supporting village communities in the global South by creating sources of income and thus counteracting poverty there.

So by planting a single tree, you are helping on an economic, social and ecological level.

What's stopping you?
