Our Story

We started it in our basement in 2006 with visions of a social enterprise that could change the world. Every product we sell funds our safe water project. It helps communities in need and makes our hearts sing with joy. Together with you, we are changing the world for the better.

Its a beautiful thing.

91% Landfill Avoidance

91% of our waste is diverted away from landfills with our recycling, composting, and reuse programs we have put in place.

100% Renewable energy

We’ve reduced our energy usage at our head office and warehouse by 40%, & 100% of the energy we do use is green renewable energy

Negative carbon footprint

We’ve had a below zero (net negative) carbon footprint since 2010. Because the best footprint to leave is no footprint at all.

Living Wages

We believe that anyone who works 40 hours a week should not have to live below their local poverty line. So we pay and champion a living wage for all of our employees.

We believe its the right thing to do for people, and the smart things to do for business as well.
