Simply stated, the carbon footprint of a product is a measure of the CO2 emissions and equivalent gasses (C02e) associated with all the steps it takes to get a LoveBeams headlamp in your hands. This carbon footprint includes sourcing raw materials, manufacturing each component and packaging, assembling the components, transporting products to customers and recycling the packaging.

Your purchase invests in projects that pull carbon out of the atmosphere or prevent further emissions, such as reforestation efforts or cookstove replacement programs in developing countries. These investments are called “carbon offsets,” and they’re one of the weapons we have to fight against climate change.
MORE SPECIFICALLY
CALCULATE
Every month, we review sales and calculate amount of CO₂e to offset, and multiply it by 10.
TRANSFER
The appropriate amount of money is transferred to our dedicated C10X offset fund.
ABSORB
Every quarter, those funds purchase enough offsets to sequester 10 times the CO2e for every LoveBeams sold.
1.52 kg x 10 = 15.2 kg CO2e offset
We champion the C10X formula because carbon neutrality is, well, just a start. To solve the climate crisis, we need solutions, not just band-aids. And heroes. That means you and me.
