TREE PLANTING WITH US

Here at Kianuko, we love to spend time outdoors. It is our playground, our place of peace, inspiration and our place that charges us with energy. It is important for us to keep the environment striving as much as possible so many more generations can enjoy it too. We were thinking of a way how to give back to nature and let you, our valued customer, be part of it.

Planting trees is possibly the most effective way to fight climate change. Beyond that, trees have incredible benefits for both our environment and its inhabitants. Trees can capture CO2 already released into the atmosphere and lower emissions.

For us, as a company to grow we need people like you that buy our products. In the internet era of online shopping, reviews are a key factor for potential customers when deciding whether to buy the product or not. At the same time, it is the best tool for us as a company to get feedback on our product and find out what we are doing great and where we can possibly improve. From the beginning, our aim is to make the best quality and functional product we can but the real test is done by our customers in the real world.

The combination of fighting climate change and growing as a company brought us to this idea. With your simple help of writing a review, we get potentially more customers. With more customers, we get more reviews. With more reviews, we plant more trees. Let's grow the Kianuko forest and fight climate change together!

It's very simple. You leave a review or rate our product on Amazon and we plant a tree. Please note that as much as we love a simple rating we would appreciate a review even more as it gives us a better idea of what we are doing great and where we can possibly improve. The review allows us to see your name and hence we can give you a credit for a tree (for privacy we will disclose only your first name followed by the first letter of your last name).

Once the review is completed and accepted by Amazon (this takes a couple of days to process) we will pant a tree on your behalf through our partners at tree-nation.com in the following month. You can follow our Kianuko forest progress here.

There are a few options how to leave a review or rate the product:

1. After receiving our product you will be emailed a request from Amazon to rate and review the product. Please note that you only get the email if you haven't opted-out from emails of this sort from Amazon.

2. On your Amazon account, navigate to your orders page and find the product you would like to write a review about. Look for a Write a product review button (Account and Lists - Your orders - Write a Product Review).

3. On the Amazon website go to the product listing page, scroll down to the review section and look for Write a customer review button.

We have two solutions to fight climate change: we can either reduce greenhouse gas emissions or we can capture CO2 already released into the atmosphere. For many years the focus has been on lowering emissions. Today the scientific consensus is that this is unfortunately not enough. That’s why carbon capture (and in particular reforestation) is part of the solutions considered essential by the COP21 Paris agreement to keep global temperature rise below 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels.

Trees absorb CO2 by storing the C (Carbon) and ejecting O2 (Oxygen). Other carbon capture solutions are being developed, but reforestation is by far the most efficient and affordable solution and probably over 100 times cheaper than the next best solution.

Another extraordinary difference is the quantity of other amazing benefits of planting trees. Trees serve as habitats to millions of species, bring revenue to local populations, help us get food, fodder, and medicine, clean our air from toxins, purify our rivers and water resources, and much more. Plus, they are natural.

But today we are losing trees every year because of deforestation. Approximately 17% of climate change is caused by our loss of trees, an impact on global greenhouse gas emissions even greater than the entire transport sector. So we cannot pretend to fight climate change without solving deforestation.

Therefore, planting trees is essential for our planet.

Not as an aim but simply because trees address some of the most threatening issues our generation is facing: Pollution, Species Extinction, Climate Change, Desertification, Deforestation, Floods, Poverty, Malnutrition, and even Deadly Viruses. For many of these problems, planting trees is a critical part of the solution.
