Our Mission
Wild City Plants was founded to fight climate change by disrupting the standard business model. We believe that it possible to operate on not only a carbon neutral framework, but a carbon negative one.
We have short time to solve our climate crisis, and Wild City Plants hopes to be a model for other companies and businesses, to begin looking at their carbon emissions from sourcing and manufacturing to shipping, advertising, and the future of their product (what happens to it after its first use?)
Our Operations
To accomplish this mission, we only sell products that are sourced from renewable or recycled resources - or are currently working to source these product lines - and encourage their reuse for as long as possible. By selling only these products, we help sequester carbon from sources that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
Additionally, because plastic is a product of the oil and gas industry, we are working to reduce single-use plastic waste through our products and packaging. This has a twofold effect of reducing plastic pollution across our planet, and reducing the total output of oil that would have otherwise produced it.
Our Partnership with EcoCart
We are pursuing partnerships that will help us sequester carbon with every purchase, and today are announcing our partnership with EcoCart!
EcoCart funds sustainable projects all over the world, including protection of the Amazon Rainforest, creation of wind farms in Indonesia and Bulgaria, and ocean plastics removal in Vietnam. At your cart, you can select to include a small carbon offset purchase, which at minimum will remove 3 pounds of carbon and will plant two trees.
While we are also planting trees through each purchase, EcoCart gives us, and you, the option of funding other sustainable projects around the globe. We'll update you on our total carbon sequestered and trees planted as time goes on, and we hope that you'll help us become one of the first carbon negative companies!
