Giving you more Sustainable Choices!

Here at Little Dance Invitations we feel its important to try and minimise the impact our Australian invitations and announcements business has on the environment, and to give our customers choices so that they can do the same. To help us do this we have partnered with Impact Balance^TM to provide you with a new environmentally friendly delivery choice.

What does DeliverGreen do?

As your purchases are transported across the country to get to your home, toxic pollutants are released into the environment. Our new service calculates the amount of pollutants released during their delivery and gives you the choice to eliminate them by purchasing an equivalent carbon offset with your products.

How does DeliverGreen work?

When you have selected a party product to purchase online in Australia you will find a DeliverGreen option in your shopping cart. This tells you how much it will cost to offset the pollution from the delivery of your purchases, and gives YOU the CHOICE to purchase carbon offsets to eliminate that pollution.

The amount of pollution offset is calculated based on the distance that your purchases must travel, the different types of transport used, and the many types of pollution they generate. For a standard delivery within Australia the cost to offset the delivery of your purchase will be less than a fifty cents, and express deliveries by air are usually around a dollar.

If you chose to offset your delivery pollution, the cost is added to your bill and you are given a transaction ID on your receipt. This transaction ID can be used to get details of your offset purchase by visiting our partners website at www.impactbalance.com.

How can I find out where my money is going?

When you chose to offset your delivery pollution, the cost is added to your bill and a transaction ID is provided on your receipt.Using this ID you can track the details of the project that the carbon offset has contributed towards by simplyvisiting www.impactbalance.com/track_offset

What are Carbon Credits and where do they come from?

Many choices we make everyday cause harmful pollution to be released into the environment, and this pollution has now accumulated to levels which are no longer sustainable for the environment.To try and combat this growing problem, governments and industry around the world have placed a price on their pollution to help encourage everyone to minimise their waste.This price is represented in the form of carbon credits. The cost of one carbon credit is the cost an equivalent amount of pollution.When an individual purchases a carbon credit it offsets their pollution by contributing towards a project that is removing pollution from the environment.

Impact Balance only purchase Gold Standard carbon credits, the highest quality and most highly regulated credits available, and all carbon credits that they purchase comply with the Australian Governments Carbon Offset standard.Their carbon credits are sourced from a variety of projects including renewable energy, energy efficiency, forestry and avoided deforestation projects.More information on the carbon credits can be found on their website at www.impactbalance.com/delivergreen.
