we know what you're thinking:
guys, anyone can preach and pontificate on their fancy website
about change and saving the world...yada, yada, yada...but, what are YOU DOING to
make a difference? huh? huh?
a few features from a list we aim to add to every year:
- we give 5% of our profits to charities, with a focus on local and regional
charities consisting of a small group of passionate people trying to change the
world.
- with every cereal capsule we offer an optional $1 green tag
to offset the CO2 emissions produced from creating and shipping your cereal by investing
the money in renewable energy certificates. add a green tag and, with each
order, you improve both your health and the environment...which in turn improves
your health, even more...and your children's health...and their pet's...the gift
that keeps on giving! see our "environmental stewards" page for more info on our green
tags
- we ship with Global Guard boxes that are made from 100% post consumer
waste (most boxes are 30-70% PCW) and printed on with vegetable ink.
that means not a single tree was damaged to make our boxes.
- we located our warehouse (more like a warehut) next door (literally) to
our natural foods supplier in new hampshire in order to completely eliminate delivery
emissions.
- we chose a natural foods supplier with a certified organic warehouse, a
strong belief in supporting local farmers, and a 30-year history of instilling sustainable
business practices. (the ceo was even the first in the area to trade his big suv
for a Prius!)
- wherever possible, we use earth-friendly vegetable inks for our printing
needs.
- wherever possible, we offer certified organic foods, and are always
looking for others!
