We've Planted 1 Million Mangrove Trees in Madagascar

Hey there,

We're thrilled to share that with your support, Ombraz has reached a massive brand milestone. This April, we planted our millionth mangrove tree in Madagascar with the help of Eden Reforestation Projects.

Eden Reforestation Projects work directly with local communities to plant, restore and preserve coastal mangrove forests. Eden has been an incredible partner and we are looking forward to many more years of mangrove reforestation.

Mangrove trees sequester (pull and store) more carbon from the atmosphere than any other tree on the planet. One million mangrove trees will sequester over 27 million pounds of carbon from the atmosphere this year alone, the equivalent of 22,000 flights from LA-NYC. Over the course of 20 years, these 1 million mangrove trees will sequester over 540 million pounds of carbon from the atmosphere.

Our tree planting efforts make Ombraz the most carbon-negative product in the world. We're proud to deliver such a significant net-benefit impact with our armless sunglasses.

Thanks for supporting our mission and believing in what we're building! Now stop reading emails and get your booty outside!

To mama earth,
Jensen & Nikolai
