Help Silk Canada plant trees by reducing your carbon footprint

Did you know that buying a carton (1.89L) of Silk instead of milk helps reduce your carbon footprint? It generates 49 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions¹ and uses 76 per cebt less water² than dairy milk. It also has a host of nutritional benefits and a silky smooth taste. To do even more for the environment, Silk has partnered with Tree Canada to help them plant more trees³! 

To inspire Canadians to join this initiative, reduce their carbon footprint and add to our Tree Canada donations, Silk has created a Carbon Calculator on Facebook that: 

Asks Canadians to pledge to reduce their carbon footprint by choosing 1 of 7 options, such as avoid buying bottled water, reduce showering time or increasing recycling.

Calculates the environmental impact their pledge will make.

For every pledge, Silk will donate an additional dollar⁴ to Tree Canada to plant more trees! 

Will you make a pledge to help Silk help Tree Canada? I did and reduced my carbon footprint enough to take 156 cars off the road.
