Our Latest Ecologi Donation: Knitting with the Planet in Mind

Sustainability Update
Every Atomic Knitting order helps fund verified climate projects through Ecologi — supporting forests, wildlife, and communities worldwide.

At Atomic Knitting, sustainability isn’t a buzzword, it’s something we quietly build into how we run our business. Every order you place helps support practical climate action through our ongoing partnership with Ecologi, and today I wanted to share an update on the impact we’ve made together.

Thanks to your support, our total Ecologi impact to date now stands at:

• 300 trees planted through global reforestation projects

• 10 tCO₂e of carbon avoidance

• ♻️ 0.50 tCO₂e of carbon removal

•  6 m² of habitat restoration

That’s a powerful collective impact for a small knitting business — and it’s something I’m incredibly proud of.

Your Knitting Makes a Difference
Every time you place an order with Atomic Knitting, you help fund real climate action through Ecologi — from planting trees and restoring habitats to reducing carbon emissions worldwide. Small choices really do add up.

Where Our Contributions Have Gone

Our Ecologi donations support a range of carefully selected projects around the world, focusing on reforestation, carbon reduction, and habitat restoration. Here’s a snapshot of what your purchases have helped fund:

Reforestation

• 300 native trees planted as part of a global reforestation mix

• Projects running from July–November 2023

• These trees help absorb carbon, restore ecosystems, and support biodiversity

Habitat Restoration

• Wildflower restoration projects supporting pollinators and local wildlife

• Peatland restoration in the UK, helping to protect one of our most important natural carbon stores

• Total restored habitat: 6 m²

Carbon Avoidance Projects

Your support has helped fund projects that reduce emissions at source, including:

• Fuel-efficient cookstoves in Uganda, improving health and reducing deforestation

• Renewable wind energy in Brazil, generating clean power

• Deforestation prevention in Peru and Colombia, protecting vital rainforest ecosystems

• Greenhouse gas capture projects turning waste into clean energy

Carbon Removal

• Blue carbon restoration in Pakistan, protecting coastal ecosystems that naturally absorb and store carbon

Why This Matters to Atomic Knitting

As a small business creating knitting notions, we’re very aware that every product has an environmental footprint. Partnering with Ecologi allows us to take responsibility for that impact in a meaningful, transparent way — not through vague promises, but through real, measurable action.

When you shop with Atomic Knitting, you’re not just buying stitch markers or tools — you’re helping support:

• Global reforestation

• Wildlife and habitat restoration

• Community-based climate solutions

• Long-term carbon reduction

Thank You for Making This Possible

This impact has only been possible because of you — every order, every recommendation, every bit of support. Choosing to shop with a small, values-led business really does make a difference.

We’ll continue to share updates as our Ecologi forest grows, and we’ll keep knitting sustainability into everything we do.

Thank you for being part of it

Happy knitting and crocheting,

Atomic Knitting
