Planetshoes.com has partnered with Carbonfund.org to offer our customers the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions that result from shipping their orders. Choosing our new CarbonFree shipping method will incur a nominal charge, 100% of which will be donated to Carbonfund.org. This charge will be used to offset your specific shipping footprint by making a contribution towards projects that support carbon reduction and the production of renewable energy. These projects may include anything from a college wind farm project in Iowa to converting methane into CO2 in New York to retrofitting our children's schools with photovoltaic solar panels in partnership with SunEdison Solar Projects.

Our CarbonFree® Plus Shipping with Planet Shoes costs $1.25 per shipment. 

CarbonFree® Plus is only available to customers in the continental United States who are eligible for free shipping. For more information about carbon offsets, visit Carbonfund.org.

Whether or not you choose to take advantage of our CarbonFree® Plus Shipping Initiative, we encourage you to visit the Planetshoes.com blog as well as Carbonfund.org. There, you will find more information about this project and what you can do to help our Earth.

At Planetshoes.com we support producing the smallest possible carbon footprint in delivering your package. Our CarbonFree Plus shipping alternative goes one step further in helping provide carbon offsets in the delivery of your packages.

Our research has found that shipping by ground provides the least carbon impact on our environment by shipping. Depending on the variables used, shipping by ground produces about 1/3 of the carbon impact as shipping by air. Please join us in supporting ground shipping and helping offset the carbon produced by delivering your package.

"Consumers' growing awareness and rising concern of global warming has certainly pressured businesses to consider more environmentally friendly solutions. While you may be well aware of green packaging, energy saving equipment or reclaiming practices, sustainable transportation is a seldom talked about aspect that deserves attention, especially considering the amount of trucks, planes and trains used to deliver products to consumers."

Damon Schecter, CEO Shipwire.com

"When it comes to the delivery of merchandise, the total carbon footprint is roughly equivalent to how much fuel it takes to get your products where they need to be. Luckily (for this analysis) parcel shipping costs are intimately tied to the total fuel cost. The more efficient the shipping is, the smaller the footprint, and the cheaper the shipping cost. Ground and sea cargo are cheaper than air; bulk or freight shipping is cheaper than individual parcel delivery."
