It’s important to us that we take care of our planet.

There are many ways that each of us can reach out and give support to charities that are making a difference, as well as give back in our individual lives with regard to recycling, being aware of reusable and renewable energy and cleaning up our local parks and waterways.

At CarLou, we are continuing our efforts from several years of practice with World Trust Foundation and the outreach to help bring awareness to the public on how we impact our environment on a daily basis.

In partnership with Future Forests, we are a carbon neutral company. Through our productions we will keep tabs on all the precious materials that we use, such as paper, and resources such as flying, driving, printing CD/DVD’s etc. Through the scientific calculations that Future Forests practices with several responsible businesses and individuals, we can tally the Co2 emissions being used, which is one of the main causes of global warming. Once these statistics are tallied, we get a clear number of trees that need to be planted, in order to give back the oxygen that helps us clean the air.

"And we all produce it from almost everything we do - from running a business to boiling a kettle. The good news is that it's possible for each of us to 'neutralise' that bit of global warming we cause. Here you can calculate your CO2 emissions, learn how to reduce them, and buy products and gifts which soak up or compensate for unavoidable emissions - like tree planting and 'green' energy in developing countries."

"This is just the beginning of giving back to society, with regard to public awareness to protect our precious earth. Through our programming and product lines we are dedicated to give back, educate and inspire other companies to take on the same practices."
