The Tree Lady

Tea Lady

Orginally, our Tea Lady was in charge of the scones and snack cart, but now she's taken to much, much more, so we've nick-named her "Tree Lady".

What We Do

Whenever someone or something is transported from one location to another, a measureable amount of carbon is released into the atmosphere creating a carbon footprint.

Although many businesses are working towards reducing or eliminating their carbon footprints, a personal and localized DIY approach is still needed to bring businesses and the public together in more than just awareness, it must actually do something.

This has led to the creation of EarthPoints, a back to basics coupon program allowing businesses and the public alike to compensate for their carbon footprints on a personal level when shopping both instore and online at participating retailers.

Businesses wanting to participate in this program can do so at leisure as there are no length of participation contracts, no minimum qualifying transactions and no costs except the purchase of ecos and the coupons they are printed on.

Businesses simply reward their customers by issuing eco coupons at will and for this they are featured as a Carbon Zero Destinations partner in our print and online directories.

Customers redeem their eco coupons online and with every so many points collected they purchase a tree and donate it to the participating school or registered group of their choice.
