How can I reduce my carbon footprint when it comes to shipping?

With the world on a sustainability trend, reducing your carbon footprint has become easier than ever. There are multiple options for eco-friendly, compostable, and biodegradable packaging options that you could consider, but you can take this a step further by reducing your packaging size, limiting the number of packages you send out by selling in bulk and choosing a shipping method that produces fewer greenhouse gases (such as choosing sea travel over air).

You can also consider a carbon offsetting app that donates a percentage of your sales to companies that actively work to remove greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. Shopify has partnered with one such app, known as the Planet app.
