Why should you do it?


why should you do it? picIt 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 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. In addition we will pass on tips on how to make changes when you are ready to do so.

We have chosen PURE - the clean planet trust, a registered environmental charity dedicated to combating climate change, for their adherence to 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.
