About Sight is going 100% Carbon (CO2) Neutral ! At About Sight, we are already on the path to helping our planet. But we are always looking for ways to improve.  We don't like the idea of burning bio-mass to go carbon neutral, so have instead opted to restore our forests. With over 50% of The World's forests being depleted, we are losing the fight to keep the organic support that gives us air to breathe. About Sight have assessed our Co2 emissions produced in a 12 month period. We will be partnering with tree planting organisations like https://halfcut.org/ & https://www.greeningaustralia.org.au/ & https://www.greenfleet.com.au/ as well as personally commiting to the task, to more than offset our Co2 emission each year. We aim to set the highest standard for other small businesses in Stonnington and beyond. Some of the other planet oriented initiatives we already do: - We have helped recycle over 20,000+ coffee pods with our drop-off collection scheme. (http://www.terracycle.com) - We collect and recycle old spectacle and sunglass frames (Lions Club) - We minimise our landfill by recycling everything we can. (http://www.ecobin.com.au) - We range sustainably produced eyewear (https://neubau-eyewear.com/) - We design our window displays to be repurposed, re-used or recycled. #seemoreinstore #seemorein2020 #noplanetb #aboutsight #carbonneutral
