CARBON IMPACT
At BlueAvocado, we've designed hip, user—friendly products that help you get your shopping in—step with your ideals. It's simple: just by shopping with BlueAvocado, you can reduce your carbon footprint as well as unnecessary waste.
Our eco-impact label lets you know you are taking a stand for the planet. At a glance, you can see:
- plastic bags avoided by using our bag per trip and annually
- BlueAvocado product carbon footprints from factory to your doorstep
- CO2 emissions avoided by using the gro-pak each trip, and each year
The inspiring news that by using a BlueAvocado pod instead of plastic bags you avoid 200 plastic bags and 9.5 lbs of CO2e if you use the bag for a whole year. That's the equivalent of NOT driving 11 miles. Which is why we can say with pride, "Shop on!"
CARBON FOOTPRINT VERIFICATION METHODOLOGY
Our partner BeGreenNow, the carbon offset division of Green Mountain Energy, led the initiative to verify our carbon footprint.
We analyzed our company's sales forecasts and measured against our energy use from the factory, to the warehouse, and to the store. We then used standard industry sources, such as WRI GHG Protocols and EPA Climate Leaders, guidelines to estimate the per product footprint of each BlueAvocado product. And you'll be happy to know we are constantly exploring ways to more accurately measure and reduce our impact on the natural world.
