We've been thinking about some way to mitigate our Carbon Footprint as some of the things we are selling in our store come from Thailand and Ireland.

Global Giving is an organisation that promises to send 90% of funds donated to the projects they are supporting and gives regular updates how these are progressing.

We picked projects, mostly to do with children and the environment, that we would like to help.

Feel that this is the way we are happiest to offset our Carbon Footprint
 
From today when you buy one of our products online, we will donate 10% of the price of this product to this pool of projects. Our target is £500.00s. The minimum donation is £6.00's - so depending on the value of your purchase, we will need to wait to make this donation until the amounts collected togethor equal this.

You can follow our progress by visiting our Global Giving Page where you can see the projects we would like to support and raise awareness of. We have moved our Global Giving page to the UK site - to avoid loss of donations which was occuring due to currency conversion from stirling to dollars on the US site. This means that we start again from zero - but the £25.00s we have already donated is already helping two projects.
