1 Tree Planted For Every Order
In honour of World Environment Day this June, we're planting a tree for every order placed. Why? Because reforestation efforts help restore the natural habitats where we love to enjoy our KickAss products every day!

How can you guarantee that trees are being planted ?
Transparency is key. We have partnered with theGoodAPI and EDEN Reforestation Projects to deliver this initiative. Their tree planting ledger keeps a running count of all trees that have been paid for and their corresponding certificates.
Why Trees matter
The trees we plant with Eden Reforestation Projects support wild life diversity, improve coastlines, provided meaningful wages to indigenous population and grow Mangrove trees which are an incredible carbon sink.
Mangroves, an incredible carbon sink
With the rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions over the last century, the need forenduring carbon sinks has grown. The latest models suggest that to remain within“acceptable” global temperature increase, it is no longer enough to simply reduceemissions, and protect existing forests, but rather that we need to rapidly increase theability to sequester carbon. Globally, mangrove systems are estimated to hold an astounding 20 petagrams of carbon. For a biome representing less than 5% of the world’s terrestrial area, this makes mangroves one of the most important carbon stocks, even more than many rainforests like the Amazon. Equally, as a relatively fast-growing group of species, mangroves sequester carbon at a very fast rate.
Impact of planting Mangrove trees
Mangroves are unique ecosystems found throughout a wide range in the tropics and occupying the intertidal areas of more than 120 countries. Mangroves, and coastal wetlands in general, are globally important for the many services they provide to humans and the planet. These services include protection against storm surges, sheltering nurseries for fish and other marine life, providing building materials, firewood, and providing critically important services to stabilizing the global climate as an important store of carbon.
