Restore the Watershed in Maui

With your support we are working alongside Nature Collective to restore a portion of the watershed in Cardiff California, in the West Basin of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve near the inlet. This project is one of the most extensive wetland restorations in California.This salt marsh serves as a vital habitat for a variety of wildlife species and as one of the most extensive wetland restorations in California, restoration work is crucial to eliminate and manage invasive plant species, while reintroducing native species to the lagoon.

Make your year #OceanPositive by wiping out the climate impact (carbon footprint and more) of your lifestyle.

Take this #OceanPositive action and we'll plant mangrove trees in Mida Creek, Kenya, and protect a REDD+, VERRA and CCBA certified, "ridge to reef" watershed project in the Southern Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia.

For the USA, the estimated carbon footprint is based on direct energy use (electricity, natural gas), transportation (auto, air, public) and the embodied emissions from goods and services purchased throughout the year. 

More info on the USA footprint calculations can be found here.

For other countries, the estimated carbon footprint is based on the annual per-capita footprint of each country (compiled by the International Energy Agency). 

If you want to geek out on calculating your exact carbon footprint, and then purchasing the corresponding amount of SeaTrees Tokens.  The following resources will help:

• Cool Climate Network map of USA Zip Code household footprints
• Cool Climate Network USA household calculator (requires your utility bills, travel records, and bank statements)
• United Nations household carbon footprint calculator (for any country)

To be clear, we're 100% OK if you just want to use the average numbers, which are in the right ballpark, and then spend that saved time gardening, hanging out with your family, or going surfing.  But if you're stoked to examine your footprint in detail, drop us a note because we're always here to talk to you about it.

With your support, we are working alongside Coastlove to restore degraded dune ecosystems in the Florida Keys.

South Florida is home to diverse coastal ecosystems, including mangrove forests, coastal dunes, wetlands, and hardwood hammocks - all of which have been negatively affected by coastal development and storms in recent years. By restoring these coastal dunes, we can provide habitat for countless species, beautify cities and parks, increase storm protection, prevent coastal erosion, and increase carbon sequestration.

Phase 1 of this project involved restoring soil stabilization along the front beaches. We are now at Phase 2, which involves restoring the inner parts of the island with trees that historically filled the area, such as Buttonwoods, Gumbo Limbos, Sea Grapes and mangroves.

With your support, we will plant and restore this critical watershed while also educating the local community and youth about restoration through hands-on involvement, in-turn promoting lifelong stewardship.
