OTHERS
What on earth are carbon offsets?
Online shopping is great - But manufacturing, shipping, and in turn, the disposal of what we buy, leave a pretty big ecological footprint on our beautiful planet.
Carbon offsetting is certified system in which we calculate the total environmental impact of each order made through our Saisei store. We will then convert the negative impact to a dollar amount that will we invest in 'green projects' like reforestation, water purification, or beach cleaning. These projects will literally help us clean up the mess we made, and make your purchase - Carbon Neutral.
You have to admit, it's pretty cool..!
How can I take part in carbon offseting?
At checkout, you will have the opportunity to pay for your purchase's environmental impact to be offset into a 'green project' contribution. We calculate and operate the carbon offsetting through EcoCart, which charges an operation fee that is paid by Saisei, regardless of your contribution.
Choosing to pay for your purchase to be "carbon neutral" is effectively making sure your purchase is doing good - good for you, and good for our planet!
