Black Friday has become a big deal. It's primarily a time for big companies to compete in a 'race to the bottom' with massive sales that produce massive waste.\u00a0<\/p>

Not at Happi Inc. unfortunately no crazy price reductions but we will plant a tree! Which undoubtedly is much better for our planet we call home.<\/p>

How about give Bezo a miss this weekend and look for small, sustainable and ethical companies to buy from.<\/p>

Of the 1 billion items of clothing made each year, almost 40% of all production is never utilised. This means a dump truck of textiles waste goes straight to landfill, every second. And when you think about it, climate change is because of stuff like this. CO2 pollution occurs as part of the process of making things.<\/p>

That's why we make things differently. Our products and packaging are made from natural materials, not plastic.\u00a0Every product we make is designed to be sent back to us when it is worn out - we make new products from the material we recover, so the cycle itself is renewable.<\/p>

Our Suppliers factory is powered by renewable energy. The Sun powers the machines that make our products in real time, in the seconds after they're ordered. We only make what people need, when they need it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Instead of making more things and hoping for change, we exist to change the way things are made. That's what sustainability means to us. So why plant trees too? As we can, the better question is why would we not?<\/p>

To make sure our planting efforts are as effective as possible, we partner with various tree-planting projects and organisations. Most of them are international, where we can have the biggest impact.<\/p>

So far our suppliers partnerships have mostly contributed to projects that have reforested large areas of Madagascar.<\/p>

Since the first Buy One Get One Tree campaign, together our supplier has captured 1.5 million kilos of CO2 by planting 24 football pitches of reforested land.<\/p>

These trees help keep the Madagascan coast line stable, diversifying and restoring the natural balance of nature, preserving the environment for native species and ecosystems. The project also offers long-term employment for the people that plant them.<\/p>

The tree planting organisations we work with are focused on maintaining natural biodiversity and combating deforestation, working in areas where the trees are needed the most.
