Agroforestry Project, Senegal

Agriculture is the backbone of Senegal’s economy. In Senegal, the conventional crop intensification model has proven inadequate, jeopardising livelihoods, degrading soils, contributing to biodiversity loss, and aggravating the effects of a changing climate.

By rehabilitating degraded lands, implementing sustainable practices, and fostering community ownership, the program aims to contribute to the long-term richness and sustainability of the Gambia River Watershed.

-

Mangrove Restoration, Kenya

The project site was previously expansive mangrove forests but have since been depleted due to over-harvesting. Communities used to rely on these mangrove estuaries for high-value commercial fish species, like prawns and crabs, as a reliable source of income for the fishing community.

Restoring this area helps to maintain shoreline stability and safeguard communities during severe weather events. The protection and restoration of inland coastal forest habitats targets key drivers of deforestation such as uncontrolled fires and charcoal production.

-

Ocean Plastic and Rubbish Removal, Global

Remove plastic waste and other mad-made debris from the open ocean and environments where they are at high risk of entering the sea; such as rivers as well as vulnerable ecosystems like mangrove forests and coral reefs.

Impact of Trees
  • Trees remove carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. This process, known as 'carbon sequestration’, involves absorbing CO2 and storing carbon, effectively cleansing our air and purging harmful elements from our environment.

  • Beyond their carbon-sequestering abilities, trees also act as oxygen generators, they provide shade and by releasing water vapours through their leaves, trees contribute to the Earth’s natural cooling mechanisms. Feel free to give a tree a little hug next time you step outdoors and thank it for it’s cooling effect on our planet. 

  • Tree planting has a significant impact beyond just carbon sequestration. They offer wildlife habitats and support ecosystems which provide additional food sources and income for local communities.

  • The projects we work with employ people from their surrounding communities, extending our impact beyond environmentalism. These efforts form the foundation of enduring and sustainable restoration projects. There are various methods for carbon sequestration, but we feel our tree-planting initiatives have the most meaningful, holistic, and tangible impact.

FAQs

Check out our FAQs page for more detail.

Q: How do you work out the carbon averages for each product?

A: Our Carbon Accountant, Resource Intelligence, did the heavy lifting to calculate the emission data based on industry averages referenced by Climate Active. Each of our carbon bundles have been independently third party verified.

Q: Can you provide proof of planting or ocean plastic removal?

A: Yes. You can always contact We Cool or any of our partners and verify that your contributions, both financial and in person, have been made.

We only work with vetted, third party verified projects. We work with partners on the ground to use technology that monitors the impact.

This includes per unit data that records timestamps and geo-coordinates of where your impact happened! We then monitor it to ensure real environmental impact and survival over time.

Q: Will I be carbon neutral when I buy a We Cool bundle?

A: We use the terminology balance out your environmental impact and reducing you waste footprint, instead of carbon neutral terms.

We do this because we plant trees instead of buying carbon credits. We think planting trees is more relatable than carbon credits, but the result for our planet is the same!

Tips to reduce your impact

You don't need to overhaul your entire operation overnight - small, practical changes across your business add up to meaningful impact. 

Here's where to start:

  • Switch to reusable packaging and branded keep cups for your team. Single-use cups and packaging are among the easiest waste wins to tackle in any workplace.
  • Set your office air conditioning to 26°C during business hours and put it on a timer so it's not running in an empty building overnight or on weekends.
  • Upgrade to LED lighting and smart power strips throughout your premises. Switching off standby power alone can cut hundreds of kilograms of CO2 per year.
  • Audit your shipping packaging - right-size your boxes and use recycled fill. Over-packaged orders add weight, cost, and carbon to every delivery you send.
  • Source locally and seasonally for your office kitchen, events, and client hospitality. Local supply chains carry a fraction of the transport footprint of imported goods.
  • Set your hot water system to 49°C - in a commercial setting with multiple staff, this single change can save over 250kg of CO2 per year without affecting day-to-day operations.

Frequently asked questions

How do you work out the carbon averages for each bundle?

Our Carbon Accountant, Resource Intelligence, did the heavy lifting to calculate the emission data based on industry averages referenced by Climate Active. Each of our carbon bundles have been independently third party verified.

Step: 1: Research source data for each of the sub-category activities using Australian Bureau of Statistics (abs.gov.au) and/or other verifiable data sources, e.g., Government departments, industry bodies and published papers, ensuring data is appropriate for Australian populations.

Step 2: Record all source data references and assumptions. 

Step 3: Validate the source data by checking alternative sources to ensure that the data used is credible and relevant to the sub-category activity being reported.

Step 4: Assess and select suitable emission factors for the sub-categories activities. Emission factors must be from Australian Government sources or known emission factor databases. 

Step 5: Independent Third party verification of emission data.

What is carbon sequestering or carbon offsetting?

Trees sequester CO2 over their lifespan; which means they absorb CO2. We Cool plants enough trees to ensure your emissions are sequestered, or balanced out, by the number of trees we plant for each bundle.
