Wipe out your climate impact - #OceanPositive

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

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 and protect a REDD+, VCS and CCBA certified, "ridge to reef" watershed project in the Southern Cardamom Mountains, Cambodia.

• Sequesters carbon dioxide
• Creates tree planting and management jobs for the village of Korem on Biak Island and forest protection and eco-tourism jobs for people living in the Southern Cardamom forest.
• Protects biodiversity and threatened species such as dugongs (sea cows) and Irrawaddy dolphins

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?"

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

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% cool 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 gorey detail, drop us a note because we're always stoked to talk to you about it.

Wipe out the climate impact (carbon footprint and more) of up to five of your beloved wave riding sleds (aka surfboards, SUPs, Kite-boards, etc). 

In 2017 Sustainable Surf worked with lifecycle assessment experts, Pure Strategies, to calculate the carbon footprint of surfboards made from several different materials. The results of that lifecycle study inform the number of trees being planted to make your quiver #OceanPositive. 

We will plant seven mangrove trees on Biak Island when you buy this product.

Each SeaTrees Offset sequesters carbon through the protection of the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project - protecting an old-growth rainforest and the largest contiguous mangrove forest ecosystem in the Gulf of Thailand.

With both VCS and CCBA certification, this project, developed by our partners Wildlife Alliance and Wildlife Works, is the highest quality 'ridge-to-reef' restoration and protection projects we could find and we're proud to be able to offer this on the SeaTrees platform.

Key project benefits include:

• Protection of endangered species including the highly-intelligent Irrawaddy dolphin, and Malaysian Sun Bears
• 200+ jobs, education, and healthcare benefits for 16,000+ people in the local community
• 497,000 hectares of rainforest protected

We help brands to calculate and balance their carbon footprints. Contact us today - we'll send through a carbon footprint data calculation collation template to get you started. If you're an individual, check out our 'Wipe-out' products here and/or use a reputable carbon calculator - like this one from the United Nations.

Don't just go "carbon neutral" - purchase SeaTrees Tokens to "wipe out" your climate impact and leave an ocean-positive impact by planting and protecting coastal ecosystems.

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

Each Token is comprised of the following mix:

• 0.5 metric tons of CO2 sequestered through VCS/CCBA certified carbon credits sourced from the Southern Cardamom REDD+ Project, Cambodia. 
• Protecting 97,000 hectares of old-growth rainforest and the largest contiguous mangrove forest ecosystem in the Gulf of Thailand.
• Protecting endangered species including the highly-intelligent Irrawaddy dolphin, and Malaysian Sun Bears
• Providing 200+ jobs, education, and healthcare benefits for 16,000+ people in the local community

• Seven mangrove trees planted on Biak Island, Indonesia, with our planting partner Eden Projects.  This has the estimated potential to sequester 2.1 metric tons of CO2 over the lifetime of the trees (25 years).
• Providing sustainable employment for two villages on Biak Island, Indonesia
• Helping to protect Biak Island from storm-surges and sea-level rise
• Creating critical habitat for threatened species
• Sequestering carbon in one of the most efficient ways possible. In fact, mangrove forests are 5x more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests.
• Provides general support to all other projects on the SeaTrees platform.
