PinkLimes has partnered with EcoCart to ensure that orders throughout their transit are made carbon neutral. By providing the option at checkout for customers to make their order carbon neutral, PinkLimes demonstrates its commitment to sustainability.

EcoCart calculates the emissions produced by each order and donates the equivalent amount to projects focused on reducing emissions, thus promoting sustainability.

Carbon offsets offer an effective way to mitigate one's carbon footprint, as emissions are counteracted. This is particularly crucial for the fashion industry, where shipping can contribute significantly to environmental issues. PinkLimes addresses this concern by offering carbon neutral orders.

The current project PinkLimes is looking to partner with is the Amazon Rainforest Protection Project. This project is for carbon offsets which focuses on protecting the Amazon Rainforest. Situated in Acre, Brazil, this initiative is verified by Verra, also known as Verified Carbon Standard.

"90% of Brazil’s Acre state is forested, but current rates of destruction mean by 2030 this could decline to 65%. This collection of three projects aims to prevent deforestation across 105,000 hectares of pristine rainforest in the Amazon basin, protecting some of the world’s most biodiverse habitats. Tropical forests are the most biodiverse habitats on Earth, home to 70% of the Earth's species of plants and animals. The projects work with communities and local groups to help protect ecosystem services while providing alternative models of economic development which avoid the destruction of the forest." - From EcoCart's Website

The benefits of this project include:

• Protecting endangered and vulnerable species of animals, including eight IUCN species.
• Providing training to families on sustainable agricultural practices.
• Facilitating healthcare access for local communities.
• Educating communities about improved agricultural techniques to mitigate deforestation.
