Litegreen - reviewing brands against environmental and human rights standards so you can shop with an easy conscience

It's very simple. Register and we plant a tree and everytime you spend £50 through Litegreen and we plant another tree.

And why is that a good idea? Well, C02 emissions heat up the planet while trees help it breath and cool it down.

A very basic explanation but if you want to know more then keep on reading.

Climate Change is big news. And the biggest cause of manmade climate change is our C02 emissions.

We all produce C02 by driving, flying, watching telly, cooking and even breathing (but trees absorb C02 and help keep our planet cool).

However, as an example of Man's effect on nature we have been losing an area of the Amazon rainforest roughly equivalent to Belguim each year. That's about 7,000 trees every five seconds.

This is where Litegreen can help. By shopping through Litegreen you know you are using companies that act in sympathy with the planet.

Just like any other retailer we get paid when you buy through us. But the best bit is that for every £50 you spend we will plant a new tree through a charity - Restore UK.

It's as easy as that. You shop through Litegreen at no extra cost and we plant trees for you.

We reckon that the average person in the UK needs to plant about 15 trees to offset one year's emissions so it won't take that much shopping to make you completely Carbon Neutral.

We are also developing a clever little tool that will allow you to calculate it down to the nearest twig. But in the meantime we hope you enjoy the site.

Happy shopping!
