Go Zero Plant-a-Tree Charitable Contribution & Certificate

Slow global warming and reduce carbon impact on our planet in one easy step. Purchase your $2 Go Zero® Plant-a-Tree and 100% of your donation will help The Conservation Fund® plant new forests that absorb thousands of tons of carbon dioxide from our earth's atmosphere. On average, each new tree planted by the Fund can absorb more than one ton of carbon dioxide over the next 100 years. That's enough to offset the emissions resulting from shipping a 200-pound package from Los Angeles to New York. 100% of your donation goes directly to The Conservation Fund — the nation's top-rated charity for low administrative costs — to plant trees as part of its Go Zero program.

Offset shipping impact Date: July 13, 2009
"I really like to shop online for variety of products available and not having to go to all those stores myself! I try to consolidate my purchases, but I am concerned about the impact of all those shipping trucks sending my packages. This is a small price to pay to offset CO2 and improve a wildlife refuge."

Know this before ordering... Date: November 8, 2009
"If you add one or more to your order, you may end up, like me, asking for the pdf or certificate. A quick phonecall and it was a done deal. They informed me that so often, customers add this as a simple gesture that they usually do not print certificates (to save trees.) I wanted to offset my holiday purchases and let my gift recipients know, to spread the idea, so I did end up printing them, in order to save OTHER trees :) I would have gone to 5 stars, except (1) the customer service person seemed exasperated with me for not saving the trees...and (2)didn't let me know about the PDF file,
which I would have used. and (3) it would be better if there were a drop-down choice on the item ordering:
* no certificate, just make donation
* email PDF certificate
* paper certificate

Easy choice to make Date: May 31, 2009
"This is one of the easiest "purchases" I've made from Gaiam. $2 is such a miniscule amount of money for such a huge return. I don't have to do anything except donate less money than it costs for one meal to help lessen my impact on the environment."

knee braces Date: May 27, 2009
"i had knee surgery several years ago, and recently started working out again. I have found other knee braces to be cumbersome, hot, and inflexible. I ordered two of the Gaiam knee braces. They are breathable, light, and flexible. I even use them kickboxing!!! I would reccomend these to ANYONE!!!
This picture is me in my first triathalon with my old knee brace. I hope to have many more with my new ones!!!

Easy way to support the environment Date: May 25, 2009
"I buy a lot of products from Gaiam, and I always throw in one or 2 bucks for the Go Zero program...it's so easy, it doesn't cost a lot, and I figure anything I can do to help the environment is a good thing. At the least, it makes me feel like I've done something useful to offset the fact that I'm using resources to have something shipped to me. I wish every company would do something like this!"

They are durable, easy to handle, and store lots. No more bending over to pick up crates or boxes of heavy items."

"This is a marvelous idea and a great opportunity to help. I am glad that Gaiam is environmentally concious and also gives us the opportunity to be. A wonderful place to shop for sustainable products and non-toxic products that make me and my family more healthy. And getting to plant a tree every time I shop is a great feeling."
