How can we help Climate Change?
When you click on one of the merchant icons, e.g. John Lewis Partnership, you are taken to that online store, where you can shop as normal but still help prevent climat change. You pay the same price to the merchant as you would have if you had gone there directly All parts of the financial transaction are handled between you and the merchant. The difference is that the merchant rewards smartlygreen.com for pointing you to their store by paying us a commission. We then share that commission with you. It’s a loyalty scheme with a difference.
50% of smartlygreen.com’s net commission for your purchases is credited to your loyalty scheme account. Of this 80% is donated to PURE, the Clean Planet Trust, with the balance being returned to you in the form of cash. Once you have met your personal carbon offset target for the year, then 20% continues to be paid to Pure and the 80% is returned to you as cash.

Why should i prevent Climate Change?
It
is widely accepted that climate change is real, and it is taking a devastating
toll on our planet. Without substantial change in the way we live as a global
nation, and the way we produce as a global industry, we will irreversibly affect
our environment and influence climate change for future generations.
We are bombarded with this message. Every media outlet warns us of the consequences of inaction, but with our busy lifestyles – work and family – we don’t always have the time to assimilate the information and to start making changes. Smartlygreen.com is your first step to contributing to the fight against climate change, but without impacting your current lifestyle and or costing you a penny more.
We have chosen PURE the Clean Planet Trust, the first UK registered charity dedicated to combating climate change, for their adherence to UK and international standards for carbon offsetting, such as the Kyoto Protocol. Their programmes make a real and substantial difference to global climate change.
We hope to encourage you through our online community section to learn and share ideas on how best to achieve a smaller carbon footprint. In the meantime, you can rest assured that you are doing something positive by shopping through smartlygreen.com.
