Le Berry Cause

For purchasing any order over $29.99, one tree will be planted on earth through theGoodAPI who partners with Eden Reforestation Projects to grow Mangrove trees in over 120 countries. With the rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions over the last century, the need for enduring carbon sinks has grown. The latest models suggest that to remain within “acceptable” global temperature increase, it is no longer enough to simply reduce emissions, and protect existing forests, but rather that we need to rapidly increase the ability to sequester carbon. Globally, mangrove systems are estimated to hold an astounding 20 peta-grams of carbon. For a biome representing less than 5% of the world’s terrestrial area, this makes mangroves one of the most important carbon stocks, even more than many rainforests like the Amazon. Equally, as a relatively fast-growing group of species, mangroves sequester carbon at a very fast rate.

 

 

Additionally, on My Berry Cart page, you can voluntarily select to donate $5 or more per order to St. Jude Childen's Research Hospital, a pediatric treatment and research facility located in Memphis, Tennessee. Thanks to donors like you, no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food - because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago.
