You probably know by now that for every bag of coffee sold, we partner with Eden Reforestation Projects to plant a tree. As of September 2024, we've pledged to plant 15,948 trees, removing 199,350 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere. This initiative is not just about adding more trees to the earth; it's about joining global efforts to restore vital ecosystems, combat climate change, and uplift communities.
Eden Reforestation Projects operates in regions like Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, Honduras, Ethiopia, Nepal, and the Philippines, focusing on restoration that prioritises both environmental health and community well-being. By working closely with local communities, Eden designs and implements restoration strategies tailored to each region's unique ecological and cultural context.
Here's an excerpt from Eden's website, describing their vision statement:
"We recognize that combatting climate change, supporting communities in developing regions around the world, and restoring vital ecosystems is no small feat and cannot be achieved alone. A collective effort is essential for success. Through collaborative design and planning, we are partnering with local communities, stakeholders, regional authorities, and global partners to restore entire ecosystems, mitigate the effects of climate change, and strengthen community resilience for decades to come. Our mission and vision drive our purpose and dedication to implement healthy and restored environments where people+planet thrive...
We envision a world where communities thrive in healthy and restored environments."
At Timely Coffees, we believe that sustainability goes hand in hand with responsibility. Our commitment to planting trees is a reflection of our core values—supporting environmental initiatives and fostering a sustainable future. Each tree we pledge to plant represents a step toward a healthier planet and a brighter future for the communities involved.
As we continue to grow and serve coffee lovers, we invite you to join us on this journey. Every cup of Timely Coffee you enjoy contributes to this vital initiative, making a difference in the fight against climate change. Together, we can help create a greener world—one tree, and one cup of coffee, at a time.
