A Portion of Your Purchase Goes Right Back Into Helping the Communities where Ayurveda was Born!

We've always been a big advocate of reducing our impact by reducing single use plastic bottles with our copper water bottles but on top of that we've now partnered with some of our favorite non-profit organizations and environmental charities along with their reforestation partners who work with local organizations in India with one simple but powerful objective: to plant (mostly) fruit trees to fight hunger, poverty and climate change.

They are great people doing amazing work. They're out there creating jobs, building communities, and protecting habitat for biodiversity while restoring forests after fires and floods. We are honored to be able to do our small part, to make sure their amazing work continues. So that's why:

🌲With every order placed through our site, we plant a tree. 🌲

It doesn't matter what you buy, if you place an order, you've just planted a tree. If you come back in 6 months for a T-Shirt or a gift for a friend, we plant another tree.

🇮🇳 Why We Plant in India

Many Indian States are prone to severe drought which can lead to hunger as crops fail regionally. We can try to combat this by helping to plant new trees that are able to withstand and survive these periods of drought by using their long root networks to tap into the water table.

With the help of tree planting partners and dedicated local Vrilksharakshaks, or “tree ambassadors”, farmers are given fruit trees and encouraged to practice organic and sustainable farming practices. . These fruit tree saplings are distributed in community lands, homesteads of marginal farmers, government school campuses, orphanages, old age homes, and other places of need.

Under this model, planting trees helps foster environmental consciousness and sustainability in these rural communities. Furthermore, these efforts generate local employment at nurseries, specifically benefitting woman and other marginalized groups.

In addition to helping fight hunger and poverty — the impact of planting trees goes much further than that, aligning with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by contributing to clean water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, and climate action and biodiversity conservation.

Some of the trees planted include lemon, guava, custard apple, gooseberry, pomegranate, jack fruit, wood apple, and tamarind. All are native trees that produce a high yield of fruit seasonally or year round. As these trees mature and yield fruit, they ensure food for local people during difficult times, acting as an insurance policy during times of drought or pandemic-induced insecurity.
