The Organisations We Work With
At BWCWD? we have a desire to make a positive impact on the environment not only through our eco friendly products and packaging but by donating to 'Carbon Neutral' & 'Seabin'. These organisations are working hard to make a real difference through established projects that help by planting trees and cleaning up our oceans.
10% of every sale through BWCWD? is donated to 'Carbon Neutral' & 'Seabin' to help fund their good work. This means that when you choose to shop with us, not only are you using products that are better for our planet but your purchase is also supporting these worthy causes.
Carbon Neutral - Plant-a-Tree Program
The Plant-a-Tree Program aims to restore landscapes and reproduce natural ecosystems.
Carbon Neutral a 'Profit-for-Purpose' organisation are the developers and managers of Australia’s largest biodiverse reforestation ‘carbon sink.’ Since 2008, 18,000 hectares of mostly unproductive and degraded farmlands have been transformed through the planting of mixed native species. These revegetation works are undertaken in the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor which will be a 200km stretch of trees and other plant life, reconnecting coastal and drier inland habitats.
So far over 30 million trees have been planted in this area which is home to over 450 identified species of flora, insects and birds.
