## Sustainability story

We're a small company based in San Francisco made up of people who enjoy the outdoors and enjoy it even more when the air is clean. In our personal lives we all make choices to be more sustainable and we think that companies should do the same. That's why we have chosen to become climate neutral certified along with 1% for the planet members. Every decision we make as a business is run through a "lens" to insure we are making choices to mitigate climate change. We could do business as usual, Ornot.
