Liminal Life's mission is to deliver innovative products of the highest quality that enrich the liminal journey and our Earth, fostering a healthier and sustainable world. At our core, we are dedicated to environmental responsibility, proudly accredited as a carbon-free business. In partnership with ClimeCo, we meticulously calculate our carbon footprint to understand and minimize our impact on the planet. This process allows us to precisely offset our emissions through the purchase of international carbon credits. These credits, once acquired, are retired unused, affirming our commitment to not just neutralizing but actively reducing global carbon emissions. Our efforts extend beyond mere compliance, aiming to set a benchmark in corporate environmental stewardship and contribute significantly to the global fight against climate change. Rooted in our commitment to empower individuals and promote sustainability, we actively plant trees in collaboration with community partners, focusing on mangrove trees recognized for their remarkable role as carbon sinks. Mangroves offer crucial ecosystem services, including storm surge protection, nurturing marine life, and providing sustainable resources. Our focus extends beyond mitigating our own carbon footprint to contribute to the broader effort of increasing global carbon sink capacity.

We work with ClimeCo to offset our own carbon footprint and Eden Reforestation Projects via TheGoodAPI for our tree planting initiative.

Mangroves, spanning more than 120 countries, offer crucial ecosystem services, including storm surge protection, nurturing marine life, and providing sustainable resources. Mangrove systems globally hold an impressive 20 petagrams of carbon, surpassing even expansive rainforests like the Amazon. Their rapid growth makes mangroves efficient contributors to stabilizing the global climate.

This is a valid concern and here is the work we are doing with our community partners to alleviate it:
• Our partners work carefully with all levels of government to secure written agreements designating the restoration sites as protected in perpetuity.
• They hire people from local communities to plant trees. In this way, we alleviate extreme poverty within the impacted community. Fair and consistent employment provides an economic incentive to ensure the well-being of the restoration project. Additionally, those who plant the trees have a sense of “ownership” over the restored forests, so they protect them with great care.
• A percentage of the trees planted are agroforestry species (fruit, fodder species designed to provide food security and benefit legitimate human needs). Over time these trees become a source of sustainable income.
• They do everything possible to supply the local communities with alternative fuel sources (e.g., fuel-efficient dry wood stoves and solar parabolic stoves), reducing and or eliminating the dependence on charcoal.
• They hire forest guards as part of the labor force to protect the forests. Forest guards are part of the overall budget.
• Most significantly, we have seen the local communities fall in love with their forest. They benefit from the restored forest through an increase in fisheries, improved farming, cleaner water, and the formation of micro-enterprises. As the employees work to restore their land, their lives are transformed as well.
• Eden has also created a Forest Guard Endowment Fund, whereby one cent of the price of each tree is put into a fund for the long-term guarding and protection of our sites.
