Each year we celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd. While we work to appreciate and love this planet every day, this is a special day on which we recognize the importance of taking care of our shared home. Earth Day first began in 1970 and has since grown to be the largest secular observance in the world, marked by more than a billion people being mobilized every year as a day of action to change human behavior and create global, national and local policy changes. Over 190 nations celebrate and recognize Earth Day. The Earth Day Organization leads worldwide efforts to drive meaningful change through climate action, science and education, people and communities, conservation and restoration, and plastic and pollution.

CGC helps honor our Earth and do our part by working with EcoCart to provide carbon neutral shipping. EcoCart offsets the carbon dioxide generated from orders by calculating the exact amount of carbon your order emits, and then offsetting that specific amount. EcoCart is able to offset by donating to projects that go through rigorous carbon offset laboratory and field testing. They only fund projects that are carefully vetted, ethically proven, and scientifically verified according to the world’s major carbon standards. Their projects are also third-party verified with site visits by their trusted partners to ensure successful calculation of greenhouse gas reductions and management of funds.

We are doing our part to donate proceeds towards planting trees but also offsetting our carbon footprint for all deliveries. As of today, CGC has offset a total of 40,613 lbs of CO2. We have also planted 2500+ trees through all of our channels. We are 11 trees away from planting 1000 from the website alone! Join us in reaching our goal!

Online shopping has transformed retail. Unfortunately, it’s also impacting the environment, and not for the better. Today, we’re becoming one of the only e-commerce brands that offset 100% of our carbon emissions generated from getting your orders to your doorstep!

We want to minimize as much pollution as we can. It's important in both our products as well as how we impact the environment getting our products out there!

Being human means releasing planet-warming carbon emissions into the atmosphere. It happens when we take a shower, charge our phones, or let out a yawn after a long day. Just like humans release carbon pollution, so do businesses - and [company name] is no exception.

Everyday in the U.S. alone, e-commerce packages travel about the same distance as going to the moon and back ...133,000 times. Online shopping has transformed retail. Unfortunately, it’s also impacting the environment, and not for the better. Having an order conveniently delivered to your doorstep is a major contributor to climate change.

We’re on a Mission!

At Cosmic Green Candles, we have long held the conviction that we can be both a great business and a great corporate citizen. In fact, we believe we cannot be one without the other.

Corporate social responsibility is cemented in CGC’s DNA because our people believe deeply in making the world a better place.
