Doesn't this promote consumerism?

Concerned about promoting consumerism? Don't worry, we're with you. At Carma, we understand that excessive buying isn't good for our Earth. However, we also know that certain purchases are necessary in our daily lives. That's where we come in. When you shop with our partners, Carma ensures you're also giving back to the planet when you receive cashback. We're all about balancing your needs and the environment's wellbeing.

Why do I have to link my bank account?

Here's a simple explanation: When you make purchases with our partners, you earn cash back. To ensure you can receive this money, we need your bank account details. This allows us to transfer your remaining cashback directly into your account, putting money right back into your pocket! For every £1 of cashback 2/3 is used for tree planting (66p) and 1/3 goes back into your pocket (33p)

How can you possibly plant an overseas tree for 25 pence?

We work with Eden Reforestation to plant our international trees. Their cost per tree is inexpensive as Eden collect most seeds from nearby remnant forests. If they are required to supplement the seeds, they are purchased from local, trusted seed banks. Please note Eden not purchase seedlings; they grow seedlings in their nurseries to ensure quality and germination rates.

A large majority of the trees we plant are mangrove species, and at 3-5 years of age, this species begins to produce and drop its propagules, which can be used to give rise to a new tree. In the beginning, our partners collected resources from existing forests, and now they are producing an abundance of resources from their own forests.

When the need arises, they purchase seeds in bulk and at a low cost from local sources. Many of the trees we plant are mangroves that only grow along coastlines, creating "coastal forests," if you will. This provides the trees with an irrigation system that is largely self-sufficient and reduces the costs associated with irrigation.

All of Eden’s international employees are paid fair wages that have been transformational for their quality of life. Because our projects are in developing nations, this cost, combined with the speed and efficiency of the planting processes, allows Eden to plant a large volume of trees at a very low price.

Rest easy. Here at Carma, we can't see your details, and we make sure nobody else can either. The moment you connect your card, your details are secured with encryption that's as strong as what banks use. So, your information stays safe and private.

How can you guarantee that trees are being planted?

Curious about how we ensure trees are truly being planted? We believe in complete transparency and have several ways to prove our commitment:

Eden Account Page: Visit our Eden account page to see a summary of all the trees we, together with our customers, have planted.  https://donors.edenprojects.org/user/rewardsearth/

Tree Planting Ledger: We keep a tree planting ledger, which records all the trees we've paid for along with their corresponding certificates as verification. You can view it here.

Annual External Audit: To ensure utmost credibility, we undergo an annual audit by an external auditor. This independent check confirms the number of trees we claim to plant.

Annual Sustainability Impact Report: We also publish an annual sustainability impact report. This report provides a detailed overview of our environmental efforts and the impact we've made over the year. https://www.carma.earth/blog

At Carma, we're not just about making claims, but about creating real, verifiable change for our planet. You can trust that every tree we say we plant is indeed helping to make our world greener.

Will I receive certificates for tree planting?

Yes, we provide tree-planting certificates monthly to all customers who plant trees. We also showcase the certificates we have received from Eden here on our tree-planting ledger.
