Combatting Climate Change, One Tree at a time
Climate change is destroying our natural environment. Here in Canada, there has been a considerable decline in the natural kelp forests, a vital part of a balanced ecosystem. Climate change is also causing a spike in wildfires. In 2021, the interior of British Columbia was ravaged by wildfires, destroying over a million hectares of natural coniferous forests and even razing a town to the ground.
With this in mind, Full Stack Marketing Operations will allocate 2% of all sales to giving back to these two much-needed natural resources. Below is a chart of our planting efforts. Rest assured that part of your investment will help save our environment. We have partnered with Evertreen to make this happen!

Seaforestation, Canada
CO2 Offset per tree: 1110 KG
Average Lifetime: 180 years
The Project
Kelp forests are diverse underwater habitats comprised of a variety of kelp species that form canopies over the seafloor, creating a three-dimensional ecosystem. These unique underwater forests thrive in cool, nutrient-rich waters and are found along rocky coastlines in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic Oceans. Kelp forests serve as a sanctuary for thousands of marine species, providing shelter and sustenance, much like forests on land. Not only do kelp forests support biodiversity, coastal fisheries, and livelihoods, they also have the potential to significantly reduce carbon in the atmosphere.
In British Columbia, kelp forests are vital to the survival of commercially and culturally important species like herring, salmon, and rockfish, as well as the endangered northern abalone, and are integral to the traditions and well-being of Indigenous coastal communities. In Chile, kelp forests dominate the coastline and are especially important to coastal communities, where seaweed collection has been a cultural practice for centuries.
Unfortunately, over the past five decades, more than 40 percent of kelp forests around the world have been lost due to climate change, overexploitation, and pollution. As a result, this project aims to restore kelp forests along the Pacific coasts of British Columbia, Canada and Chile, in partnership with Ocean Wise.
Through the use of innovative techniques, including seeding giant kelp, bull kelp, and sugar kelp, this project will deliver at least 250,000 m2 (25 ha) of seaforested kelp in BC and at least 3000 ha in Chile by 2027. Your support is critical in achieving this goal, which will not only help to restore these precious ecosystems, but also contribute to the health and well-being of coastal communities and the planet as a whole.

Coniferous Tree, Cariboo, Canada
CO2 Offset per tree: 900 KG
Average Lifetime: 180 years
The Project
In 2017, 2018, and 2021, British Columbia in Canada was ravaged by wildfires, which spread across more than 1.3 million hectares of land. The intensity of the fires was such that they killed off the forests and damaged the soil, leaving a scarred and barren landscape. The local wildlife’s habitat and food sources were severely impacted, and the Indigenous communities lost their traditional hunting grounds and food sources, threatening their way of life.
To address this issue, we are contributing to a reforestation project aimed at restoring the area. We plan to plant a variety of species, including Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine, Ponderosa pine, hybrid spruce, and western larch, with the goal of assisting natural regeneration and allowing the damaged ecosystems to flourish once again. With your support, we will help restore the soil, which has been damaged by burn scars and erosion. It will take an estimated 13 million trees and years of hard work to restore the Cariboo region. However, this effort will not only help the ecosystem but also enable the local communities to rebuild their livelihoods and secure their futures.
