Impact


We exist to help untrash the planet™. We measure our impact across four areas.
 

1. Current citizen population: {citizen_count} 

Every person who buys is issued a unique citizenship number. Our community of likeminded, good citizens is growing.

2. Bottles used: 13,000

We grab single-use plastic bottles before they reach our oceans and landfill to make our sunglasses, cleaning cloths and cases. 

3. Ocean plastic removed: 4394kg 

For every sale, we fund the removal of plastic trash out of the ocean as a gift from each citizen to the planet.

4. Citizen awareness: 35+ million 

Part of our mission is to raise awareness and educate people on the single-use problem. This figure is the amount of citizens who have seen our activity in the media.


We’ve partnered with the clever people at C2Zero to make our sunnies carbon neutral; in fact we’ve gone one step further to make them carbon negative.

For each pair of sunglasses sold, we prevent 10kg of carbon from reaching the earth's atmosphere. That covers the manufacture & transport of all the elements involved in the making of our shades plus a bit more. Learn more.
