Switch2Zero

We're thrilled to announce that Active Silver is partnering with Switch2Zero, a forward-thinking company focused on facilitating the global transition to net-zero carbon emissions.

Switch2Zero was born out of a passion for making the journey to net zero as simple, transparent, and affordable as possible. They offer practical and affordable solutions to reduce and offset carbon footprints, help in tree planting and plastic reduction, and aim to connect their members with green goods and services.

Here's how our partnership will benefit you:

  1. One Purchase, One Tree: Every time you buy from us, we'll plant a tree in partnership with Switch2Zero. This initiative can be seen on our site, planting the seeds of change with each purchase you make.
  2. Direct Impact Information: Following your purchase, you'll receive an email from Switch2Zero. This email will detail the tree planted as a result of your purchase, and provide you with the opportunity to learn more about their various projects.
  3. Optional Personalised Impact Page: If you opt-in, you can access a personalised page that shows the impact of your purchases - the number of trees planted and their estimated lifetime CO2 carbon capture. This is just one of the ways we're ensuring transparency in our sustainability efforts.

With your support, we're excited to make a difference to our planet's health through this partnership with Switch2Zero. We invite you to join us on this green journey...
