We offset the carbon emission of our towel production by financing a wind-park project. The
wind-park is located in Turkey where the organic cotton is farmed. (Certificate: Gold Standard GS 854)
By funding rain harvesting-, filtration and groundwater projects, we offset the liters of fresh (blue)-water that is used for creating a Kushel Towel.
We create new fresh (blue)-water by funding a transition of a monoculture pine forest towards a mixed (pine-beech) forest in Germany.
We plant new trees that create water.
In a mixed-forest, more rainwater will become groundwater because of the changed structure of tree-crowns and the deeper roots. You can read more about the water creating-effect of a forest-transition here.
Projects that create water and are being investigated under scientific standards are not easy to spot. If you know about a project we should help to fund, we love to hear from you.
So far for the compensation, let's get positive and create new resources.
