Wipe out your climate impact - #OceanPositive

100% of profits fund our mission to protect and restore coastal ecosystems - turning the tide on climate change.

Is this a gift? Use our Gift Card Impact Wipeout certificate.

Make your year #OceanPositive by wiping out the climate impact (carbon footprint and more) of your lifestyle.

The estimated carbon footprint is based on the annual per-capita footprint of individuals for each country (compiled by the International Energy Agency). 

The household footprint is estimated from research by the Cool Climate Network, and includes indirect CO2 emissions from goods and services purchased on a household level, such as food, furniture, cable TV, health care, and much more.

If you want to geek out on calculating your exact carbon footprint, and then purchasing the corresponding amount of SeaTrees Tokens.  The following resources will help:

• Cool Climate Network map of USA Zip Code household footprints
• Cool Climate Network USA household calculator (requires your utility bills, travel records, and bank statements)
• United Nations household carbon footprint calculator (for any country)

To be clear, we're 100% OK if you just want to use the average numbers, which are in the right ballpark, and then spend that saved time gardening, hanging out with your family, or going surfing.  But if you're stoked to examine your footprint in detail, drop us a note because we're always here to talk to you about it.  

Tax Deductible: Wiping out your impact is tax deductible in the USA. Keep your receipt!

The estimated carbon footprint is based on the annual per-capita footprint of each country (compiled by the International Energy Agency). 

Instead of using an overly complex carbon calculator, we use the average footprint of your country/region as the best representation of someone's climate impact. This method is a more realistic estimate because it also includes indirect energy consumption of infrastructure and services.

If you feel that footprint of the person you are buying this gift for is significantly higher than average, then please use a reputable carbon calculator, such as this one from the United Nations, and then buy SeaTrees Tokens to wipe out the specific number of tons that you require.

Make your next trip #OceanPositive by wiping out the climate impact of your round-trip flight.

Take this #OceanPositive action and we'll plant mangrove trees on Biak Island, Indonesia, restore kelp forest in Palos Verdes, CA, and protect a REDD+, VCS and CCBA certified, "ridge to reef" watershed project in the Southern Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia.

For each ton of CO2 created by your flight, your purchase:

• Sequesters 1 ton of CO2 with carbon credits from the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project, Cambodia
• Plants 4 mangrove trees in Indonesia which has the potential to sequester an additional 1.2 metric tons of CO2
• Restores 1 sq-ft of kelp in Palos Verdes, California
• Creates tree planting and management jobs for the villages of the Biak Island Region, forest protection and ecotourism jobs for people living in the Southern Cardamom forest, and alternative employment for local fishermen in Palos Verdes, California
• Protects biodiversity and threatened species such as dugongs (sea cows) and Irrawaddy dolphins in the Southern Cardamom Watershed, protects 700+ species in Palos Verdes, California, and provides critical nursery grounds for fish and shellfish species in the Biak Island Region of Indonesia

How much climate impact did your flight create?:

• Short-haul flight (< 3 hours = 1 ton CO2)
• Medium-haul flight (< 6 hours = 2 tons CO2)
• Long-haul trips flight (< 12 hours = 4 tons CO2)
• Ultra long-haul flight (18+ hours = 6 tons CO2)

Flight times listed as 1-way travel time.  CO2 footprint counted as a round-trip.

Uses latest CO2 emission factors according to DEFRA-2018, and a radiative forcing factor of 2.0 according to Jungbluth & Meili 2018. "What the heck is radiative forcing?"

Make your driving #OceanPositive by wiping out the climate impact of your mileage - better yet, skip the car and walk or ride a bike whenever you can!

Take this #OceanPositive action and we'll plant mangrove trees on Biak Island, Indonesia, restore kelp forest in Palos Verdes, CA, and protect a REDD+, VCS and CCBA certified, "ridge to reef" watershed project in the Southern Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia.

For each ton of CO2 created by your driving, your purchase:

• Sequesters 1 ton of CO2 with carbon credits from the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project, Cambodia
• Plants 4 mangrove trees in Indonesia which has the potential to sequester an additional 1.2 metric tons of CO2
• Restores 1 sq-ft of kelp in Palos Verdes, California
• Creates tree planting and management jobs for the villages of the Biak Island Region, forest protection and ecotourism jobs for people living in the Southern Cardamom forest, and alternative employment for local fishermen in Palos Verdes, California
• Protects biodiversity and threatened species such as dugongs (sea cows) and Irrawaddy dolphins in the Southern Cardamom Watershed, protects 700+ species in Palos Verdes, California, and provides critical nursery grounds for fish and shellfish species in the Biak Island Region of Indonesia

What's the carbon footprint of your driving?:

• Average Surfer (USA): In a 2011 survey conducted by Surf First and the Surfrider Foundation, the median distance traveled by surfers to go surfing was 10 miles one way, and the median number of times they surfed per year was 97 = 1,940 miles per year to surf.
• Average American (USA): The average American drives 10658 miles per year

Whether it’s your personal footprint or the carbon emissions from your entire company, we believe that simply being carbon neutral isn’t enough to help us solve climate change. In order to reverse climate change, we need to sequester the carbon dioxide we’ve emitted for decades in parallel with reducing our current CO2 emissions.

Our solution: The SeaTrees Token, which restores multiple ecosystems to sequester more CO2 than you emit. The result: a positive impact on the ocean and the life it supports. For every ton of carbon dioxide you’re looking to wipeout or balance, we:

1. Sequester 1 ton of CO2 with carbon credits from the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project, Cambodia
2. Plant 4 mangrove trees in Indonesia which has the potential to sequester an additional 1.2 metric tons of CO2 
3. Restore 1 sq-ft of kelp in Palos Verdes, California

So if your carbon footprint is 10 tons of CO2, 10 SeaTrees Tokens will make you “carbon neutral” with 10 certified carbon credits from one of the best REDD+ projects we’ve ever seen.  Then you become “ocean positive” by the additional support of restoring kelp and mangrove forests.

Add one SeaTrees Token to your cart for each ton of CO2 to be "wiped out".

REDD+ = Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation

VCS = Verified Carbon Standard Program

CCBA = The Climate, Community & Biodiversity Alliance
