We Cleanup After Ourselves Here On Herrington

Let's face it, my Herrington Lake Trading Post deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why I support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air - a necessary step to help me create more balance and offset that footprint.

Together, participating businesses have…

• Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
• Provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million orders

Here's how it works: For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists and other leaders in the field from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments create. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.

Let's meet a few of the companies removing our shipping emissions.

Heirloom

Heirloom's direct air capture technology enhances the carbon mineralization process. Heirloom's technology speeds up the rate at which naturally occurring minerals capture CO₂ rather than using energy-intensive fans to draw air in.

Remora

Remora captures CO₂ from semi-truck tailpipes as they drive, with the CO₂ destined for long-term storage.

Charm

Charm captures CO₂ using plant waste, converts it into a stable, carbon-rich liquid, and safely stores it deep underground—out of reach of wildfires and soil erosion.
