For one day only—April 20, 2022—13 ecofriendly brands are coming together for a flash sale on some of AFAR’s favorite travel gear with savings from 10 percent up to 40 percent off. While the discounts differ from brand to brand, these participating companies all have one thing in common: They’re all Climate Neutral Certified.
To be certified, the nonprofit organization Climate Neutral helps brands eliminate their carbon emissions through a three-step process:
- Measure all carbon emissions from making and delivering products and services to customers.
- Offset that entire carbon footprint by purchasing carbon credits through a mix of projects, like reforestation or renewable energy.
- Reduce future emissions by developing and implementing plans.
Of course, the most sustainable option is to use what you already own or buy gently-used secondhand products. But when you do need something new, it’s best to shop brands committed to sustainability like the 269 brands that are currently Climate Neutral Certified.
