What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from electricity purchased at our office and warehouse.

How We'll Reduce It

We will install smart controls for lighting and outlet timers as well as create thermostat standards for usage throughout the year. Every month, we will track electricity consumption, and set company-wide goals. We will also become 80% solar-powered.

10%

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions related to customer returns.

How We'll Reduce It
