Shop Planet Conscious

Buy certified non-forest commodities

Palm oil, coffee, and cacao production also contribute greatly to deforestation. When shopping for food, look out for labels from other  ISEAL  code  compliant  certification systems like  Fairtrade,  RSPO, and  Rainforest  Alliance.

Save Soil

Save Soil

Good topsoil creates a good ecosystem. You can protect it by growing your own garden or houseplants with organic matter. You can choose plants and trees that make local topsoil healthier. The easiest way to boost this effort is to advocate farm practices that are soil friendly.

Plant or Sponsor a Tree
