Bubbles & Balms' Climate Commitment
Given our love for bubbles, it's only natural we want to clean up after ourselves!
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we were proud to join the Shopify Planet initiative. By adopting this program at Bubbles & Balms, we are taking another significant step to reduce our carbon footprint and invest in better tomorrows!
.
Together in the Shopify Planet Initiative, participating businesses have…
- Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
- Provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million orders
So, how does it work?
For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.
Let's meet a few of the companies removing our shipping emissions.
Heirloom
Heirloom's direct air capture technology enhances the carbon mineralization process. Heirloom's technology speeds up the rate at which naturally occurring minerals capture CO₂ rather than using energy-intensive fans to draw air in.
Remora
Remora captures CO₂ from semi-truck tailpipes as they drive, with the CO₂ destined for long-term storage.
Charm
Charm captures CO₂ using plant waste, converts it into a stable, carbon-rich liquid, and safely stores it deep underground—out of reach of wildfires and soil erosion.
