Charity of the Year Excellent Development has a
voluntary carbon offset scheme called TreeDuty offering customers the opportunity to offset their carbon emissions from their home, air travel or car. The proceeds go directly into planting medicinal and endangered trees in protected forests in Kenya - and a carbon neutral Canby TreeDuty jute bag goes out to all customers as a thank you.
The forests in Kenya act as 'living seed banks', providing seeds for communities to use in tree nurseries, which enable farmers to learn how to germinate and propagate the notoriously difficult to grow trees. The forests themselves demonstrate that successful growing is possible. And of course, as they mature, the trees will add to regional biodiversity, and contribute to improving the global environment through their absorption of carbon dioxide.
So it's all good stuff. Canby jute bags were the perfect partners for the TreeDuty scheme as they are made of a sustainable crop and are completely carbon offset!
