PLANET EARTH
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (which is quite an impressively simple way of life), you are probably aware of the great threats facing our planet. We believe that our future generations deserve a chance to see our planet as it was created, not after we were through with it.
Our planet is not a resource – it is the source
The Earth is the ultimate provider. But our current food system is just too demanding of our natural resources. The cost we pay for the high demand for meat products is air pollution, water pollution, land degradation, deforestation and threatened biodiversity.
Agriculture is guzzling up 70 percent of our freshwater resources, which is already finite – only 0.5% of all the world’s water is available freshwater. In other words, if our total water supply were 26 gallons, our usable freshwater would be only one-half of a teaspoon. Leaving only a very small fraction of clean freshwater to support ecosystems… and humanity.
The forests are threatened too. More than half of the world’s arable land is used for ranching. Forests are rapidly converted to pasture to keep up with demand. In fact, 80% of deforested land in the Amazon is now used for cattle ranching, and this number continues to grow. When we lose forests, we also lose oxygen, and without their forest homes, many animals face extinction.
Farmers and Scientists are moving toward sustainable practices, but they can’t out-engineer the crisis.
There is hope, and it starts with us. You and me. We, along with the other 80 million plant-based eaters in the world, are helping in a big way! Together, we can turn things around, revegetate deforested lands, and protect our water by eating more veg and less meat. Plant-based for the win!
“It’s not that easy bein’ green”
– Kermit the Frog
We applaud you for the green efforts you make every day, like investing in solar panels, ditching single use plastics and conserving water. It takes some effort, but it’s worth it. At Green Thumb, we want to make it easy bein’ green. That’s why we use tru-IMPACT ® eco-friendlier sustainable packaging. Our packaging uses responsibly sourced materials certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and post-consumer recycled (PCR) content made with 20% or more of recycled water bottles.
Our Strength Is in Our Journey
To continuously improve sustainability from farm to table, and in our collaboration with our farmers and earth-conscious communities to continuously discover greener ways to grow, prepare, package, and deliver our foods. We are committed to never dilute or pollute what mother nature provides. You’re taking charge of what you put in your body and Green Thumb has got your back.
