At GreenBar Collective, we aim to leave the environment in better shape than we found it by planting one tree per bottle sold. SHI plants the trees in the rainforests of Central America and provide not only carbon sinks, but also shade for fair trade crops of coffee and cacao so local farmers can better feed their families.
By making small changes, we can make a big difference in the environment. Consider, for example, that on average Americans produce 55 kilograms (kgs) of carbon dioxide every day. That's our carbon footprint...one of the largest in the world. By being efficient and careful in the manufacturing process and planting one tree a bottle sold, 2 oz of any GreenBar organic spirits - about what's in a typical cocktail - helps remove 62 kgs of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Your cocktail just made you carbon negative for a day! You (55 kg) minus your cocktail (-62kg) equals carbon negative (-7kg). Now you can choose not only to drink better, but to drink to a better world.

"I just returned from a 10-day trip to Honduras with Sustainable Harvest International. That small organization with a relatively small staff ... is doing a fantastic job helping the rural areas of Honduras diversify crops and re-forest the denuded mountains of the country. [They] demonstrated a dedication and grasp of both the problems and possible solutions that I found worthy of Nobel prize recognition. The leadership of our Smaller World Tour by an employee of SHI was first-rate. We worked, we learned, we contributed. If there is truly a way to help the impoverished developing world, SHI holds the key."
