This month, buy one pair and plant ten trees.

It’s World Environment Day today and Mari & Clay is celebrating by upping their positive environmental impact. Every pair of Mari & Clay sunnies sold during June 1st-14th, will plant not one, not two, but TEN trees through @onetreeplanted

What is World Environment Day? World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5th every year, and is the United Nations' principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of our environment.

This year's theme is biodiversity–a concern that is both urgent and existential. Recent events, from bushfires in Brazil, the United States and Australia to locust infestations across East Africa–and now, a global disease pandemic–demonstrate the interdependence of humans and the webs of life in which they exist.

Their donations will go toward planting trees in Australia to help restore the beautiful landscape that was destroyed following the bushfires which burnt nearly 6 million hectares (15 million acres) of bush as of January 2020. They may be a small business, but together we all believe every bit counts.

 

Mari & Clay are a group of optometrists based in Melbourne, Australia with a passion for eyewear design and sustainability. Seeing how fast fashion continues changing the eyewear industry and the amount of waste that is accumulating - they want to do things differently. Mari & Clay believe that everyone can make a difference through conscious choices.

All of their sunglasses are made with an innovative biodegradable material called bio-acetate, free of any harmful chemical plasticisers that are found in traditional acetate. Their designs are minimalistic and timeless. Each piece is handcrafted with high-quality materials, designed for people to wear for years and years to come.
