ReSpek Nature

Offset carbon, restore nature, plant a spekboom
2021 SEED Low Carbon Award Biodiversity Graaff-Reinet, South Africa

ReSpek Nature’s service is designed to allow a spekboom planting opportunity for any consumer purchase, via pop-up, at ZAR10 or USD 0.65c per tree. Organisations can offset carbon via monthly subscriptions.

Currently the enterprise is financed with a mix of funding from Nahana Foundation and simple-to-use web app which allows customers to offset the carbon of their purchase.

Its customers are tiered: online merchants are first tier. Second tier are customers who use their platforms to shop online. Then, they provide monthly subscription plans for anyone; individuals, families, organisations, corporates who want to offset their own carbon through planting spekboom.
