Leave It Better
A quarter, a bag, a slightly nicer block.
25¢ from every order buys cleanup supplies — real bags, donated to local volunteer cleanup groups. That's the whole program. No percentages of percentages, no planted-tree math. A quarter, a bag, a slightly nicer block.
Here's how it works, in its entirety: for every order, we set aside 25¢. When the pile is big enough to matter, it buys heavy-duty cleanup bags — ours when we can print extras, sturdy plain ones when we can't — and we donate them to volunteer cleanup groups doing park, beach, and block cleanups. Then we tell you we did it, with numbers.
- That a trash bag purchase “saves the planet.” It doesn't.
- Percentages of percentages of profits. A quarter is a quarter.
- Impact math we can't show you on a napkin.
Why this cause? Because it's ours. We make taking trash out feel good; the least we can do is help the people who pick it up where it never belonged. Small, direct, and on-topic — the way give-back programs should be.
The running total (orders × $0.25) is tracked publicly on our drop updates. First donation goes out when the Founding Drop ships.
