Offsetting Carbon Emissions
With growing economies and populations worldwide, demand for international freight is projected to triple in volume over the next 30 years, much of this the shipping of containers. So it's important that those of us who import products into New Zealand do what we can to offset any damage to our environment as a result of CO2 emissions from freight carriers.
Making a Difference
Since 2018, we at Tile Warehouse have worked with freight company, Tri-Star through their partnership with Trees That Count. We contribute to an environmental recovery fund which Tristar then matches, and this total is then donated to Trees that Count. These funds are used for the purchase and planting of trees. This initiative assists in mitigating our carbon footprint over the next 50 years to help protect New Zealand’s threatened biodiversity.
By funding native trees through Tristar’s partnership with Trees That Count, and spending a day a year planting, Tile Warehouse will be assisting to absorb tonnes of CO2. That’s a real feel-good for us - good for our carbon footprint, and good for Aotearoa.
