We have teamed up with One Tree Planted to help with global reforestation. We are donating a tree for every online or local delivery order placed throughout April and May.

Earth Day allows our society to spotlight how treasured our planet is and how we affect it. Climate change is one of the most significant issues facing humankind and many living species. The subject of climate change helps emphasize how every person’s actions and small changes can make a tremendous difference! You can help the earth just by shopping with The Pet Beastro. Here are three ways The Pet Beastro is helping this Earth Day! 

One Tree Planted Partnership

This Earth Day, The Pet Beastro and One Tree Planted are joining forces for a fourth year to help with reforestation. The Pet Beastro will donate one tree for every online or local delivery order placed in April and May! One Tree Planted is a non-profit environmental charity on a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees! 

One Tree Planted started in 2014 and has more than doubled the number of trees planted year after year. Their supporters donated over $30,108,777 (including us) to plant 23,588,232 trees in 2022. One Tree Planted works with reforestation partners in North America, South America, Asia, and Africa who help get trees in the ground to restore forests after fires and floods, create jobs, build communities, and protect habitats for biodiversity.

The Pet Beastro Reusable Bags

Another practice that has set The Pet Beastro apart is our bagless initiative implemented in 2018. Our Beastro Bags are the perfect way to reduce your carbon footprint and eliminate plastic bag waste to keep them out of our landfills and oceans. As a bonus, whenever you shop with your Beastro Bag, you can get 20 cents off your bill or donate it to one of our local shelters! Reducing your carbon footprint can also include investing in reusable drink-ware, cycling instead of driving, and recycling items you have around your home.
