Giving Back

I truly believe that each individual can make a positive difference in the world.  Small choices like the products you purchase, the services you use and the food that you eat can all make a difference to the environment, economy, and local and world community.

That being said, I also believe it is important to support other people and organizations that are doing good things in our world, as well as people that may just need a little extra help.  Urban Earth Teas has two different programs that allows us to donate a percentage of our sales to local and global charities and organizations as well as community members in need.

Teas for Bees: Features teas blended using ingredients that are well known for providing food for pollinators. Five dollars from each tea is donated to Pollinator Partnership Canada.

Pollinator Partnership Canada: Bees are not only cute, fluffy and fascinating creatures, they are absolutely critical to the health of our ecosystems and our food supply.  Pollinator Partnership Canada (P2C) is a registered not-for-profit organization in Canada dedicated exclusively to the protection and promotion of pollinators and their ecosystems.  For more information on their mission and programs, please visit http://www.pollinator.org/

Communi-tea Fundraising Project: 
Features custom blended teas as well as luxury single-ingredient teas. Ten dollars from the sale of these teas support local organizations and charities including:

Powell River Orphaned Wildlife Society: PROWLS is an amazing local society that helps injured and orphaned birds and other wildlife in Powell River.  Find out more at https://prowls.org/.

MARS Wildlife Rescue: MARS Wildlife Rescue is a non-profit organization based in Merville, BC. Its mission is to conserve and protect native wildlife and its natural habitat through education and rehabilitation. It helps to rescue, rehabilitate and release wildlife (including that from Powell River that cannot be cared for by PROWLS).
