Below you will find all of the conservation tips from our products as well as some additional tips that you can do to help save our planet.

Buy naturally shade-grown chocolate and coffee
Chocolate, coffee and other spices can be grown under the natural canopy of the rainforest as opposed to clearing the precious land to accommodate farms with synthetic canopies. Seek out companies that make a commitment to naturally grow products.

Find substitutes for disposable paper products
Reducing our use of paper products decreases pressure to log forests where so many animals make their homes. Use cloth instead of paper napkins, use reusable plates instead of paper ones.

Reduce paper waste.
To protect our rainforests, think of ways you can reduce or reuse paper use in your home and office.

Combine errands.
Cars contribute to the greenhouse effect making our planet warmer, affecting all types of plant and animal life. Walk, ride a bike, or combine car errands to burn less fossil fuel.

Use canvas bags or reuse plastic grocery bags.
When not recycled, plastic grocery bags often find their way to the ocean and can tragically be mistaken by sea life for food.

Purchase products made with recycled materials.
Buying products made from recycled materials conserves precious resources and eliminates waste. Everything from pencils to office chairs to shoes can be made with recycled materials.
