Where will this dream take us?
Awake Dreamers operates from beginning to end with minimal negative impact & maximum benefit
These are ways Awake Dreamers seeks Balance
ORGANIC COTTON
Better for You. Better for Everything. All our pieces are created with super soft Organic Cotton.Grown in India. Our GMO-free Organic Cotton gives delicious comfort, is hypoallergenic and grown without the use of chemicals and processed and dyed without using any banned toxic substances.
Each year the heavy use of pesticides from conventional cotton farming contaminates water, pollutes the environment and harms biodiversity, contributes to tens of thousands of farmer deaths from cancer related to pesticides, and countless bird deaths. We could not be part of that.
Our Organic Cotton is GOTS certified (the strictest certification). GOTS tracks the entire chain of production from farm to factory: from harvesting of the cotton, weaving of fibers, assembly of items, to the final product before printing.
Compared to conventional cotton Organic Cotton uses 91% less water | creates 98% less water pollution | uses 62% less energy | has 94% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
CARBON OFFSETS
Awake Dreamers always chooses the path of minimal negative impact, but we’re not perfect, so we lessen our footprint with monthly Carbon Offsets from Gold Standard and TerraPass. We’re sure we don’t need to tell you this but... the world is heating up - excess carbon from human activity is a key factor in climate change; it contributes to urban air pollution, to toxic acid rain, it adds to coastal and ocean acidification, and it worsens the melting of glaciers and polar ice.
with Gold Standard we contribute to the Utsil Naj program in Mexico - they improve cookstoves in rural areas, which reduces the use of firewood and lowers carbon emissions, all while expelling the toxic fumes outside the user’s homes. This decreases household air pollution dramatically and contributes to forests and biodiversity preservation.
with TerraPass our contribution supports carbon reduction programs. These include clean energy from wind farms, methane capture projects at abandoned coal mines, farm power programs that make the best possible use of animal waste, and landfill gas capture.
We currently buy offsets for 4mT of carbon a month or 48mT a year - Every year this is the equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 54 acres of forests - taking 10 cars off the road - not consuming 5,400 gallons of gas - avoiding the electrical use of 9 homes. We aim to avoid, reduce, and offset more than we use.
