Sustainability
Paper. Lots of paper.
During the process of transforming your kitchen, we use paper to cover your floors, walls, cabinet faces and more. Every time we pull that paper up and stuff it in a bag, the guilt sets in. “This is a lot of paper..”
As we have yet to come to another solution, we decided to sit down and brainstorm on how we could be more sustainable as a company. As paper comes from trees, it was a natural next step to commit to planting 1 Tree for every kitchen we transform. After some research, we agreed that 1 Tree Planted aligns best with our goals and we are thrilled to partner with them for this initiative.
1 Kitchen = 1 Tree Planted.

Why Trees?
Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.
Forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines. Have you ever taken an Aspirin? It comes from the bark of a tree!

What Is Reforestation?
Reforestation can be defined as the process of replanting trees in areas that have been affected by natural disturbances like wildfires, drought, and insect and disease infestations — and unnatural ones like logging, mining, agricultural clearing, and development. This can mean anything from supporting natural regeneration in an area that has been degraded to planting ecologically appropriate tree seedlings after forest fires.
