Light orders:we offset CO2 emissions

The platform that hosts our site, Shopify, offers us the possibility to calculate the CO2 emissions related to the transport of the orders we ship and to compensate them through forest conservation projects managed by the technological startup Pachama you can learn more in this article in English.
