Forest Neutrality? No - Forest Positivity
Forest Positivity - For when Forest Neutrality is not enough
You may have noticed that we have described Boomf as being forestry neutral – but what does that even mean?
Although it’s quite simple, it is very important to us:
Whatever we take from the forest, for paper and card, we replace.
Everyone agrees that looking out for the environment is something we should be taking action on. After all, actions speak far louder than words - that’s why we send cards and gifts, instead of only telling someone how we feel.
And whilst we all can ‘do our bit’ as individuals, it can help to shop from companies that enable us to do so. So that is exactly what we do.
If you're looking for a greener way to give then we have you covered. From greetings cards for every occasion, amazing MallowPops (personalised of course) to Boomf Bombs, and a range of great gifts in between, Boomf has your green gifting sorted.
As you will imagine, at Boomf we get through tons of envelopes and even more supplies of card – not just for greetings cards, but also for our Flutter Cards, Boomf Bombs and ever-popular Wild Cards as well.
Then there is also the packaging and delivery of our range of gift packages and flowers and…well, it soon adds up.
So we do what we can: we replace every tree we use by planting new ones.
In fact, we go one better; we replace more trees than we use.
It is no longer enough to be forest neutral.
Boomf believes in being Forest Positive.
This means that when you buy from Boomf, you are not only buying responsibly, you are actually making a positive contribution to the planet. You and Boomf, together, making a positive impact on forestry and the environment.
For every tree taken from the forest, we replace it and add even more.
How are we doing this?
We’ve joined forces with MoreTrees - a tree planting platform that enables anyone to plant trees in forests across the world - supporting reforestation, climate action and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
By planting trees in locations that need them most, we’re able to help make a significantly positive impact on the planet, its inhabitants and its future.
So – every time you place an order from Boomf, for cards, Boomf Bombs, gifts, flowers, or anything else – you can be sure that your order is more than forest neutral.
MoreTrees to come: Send a card – plant a tree!
Want to do more? Watch this space!
Very soon you will see some innovative changes to the Boomf website, and one of our new additions will be the option to plant a tree via MoreTrees yourself.
We will be adding the option to plant a tree via MoreTrees - every time you buy a card or gift from us – and we are super-excited about being able to offer this to you. You will be able to plant a tree for as little as £1.00 - just add it to your order, once this feature is available.
Keep an eye on our website to spot the changes when they happen – or to be kept up to date with all things Boomf (especially about the trees) then subscribe to our newsletter today and we let you know as soon as this option is available.
