More than Carbon Neutral….
Carbon Negative – Another World’s First From Miessence
Miessence is committed to providing exceptional home, health and body products that support the health and vitality of our customers and the planet. Our sustainable approach for sourcing raw materials respects, supports and nurtures the ecology and energy of the planet, our customers, and the indigenous people who labor to grow our pure ingredients. That’s why we are the world’s first certified organic skin care, personal care and nutritional products company to be carbon negative!
As the debate on climate change and carbon emissions continues, Miessence believes that responsible companies shouldn’t stop at simply reducing their own carbon emissions – something Miessence has been doing for years – but take action to move towards a carbon neutral world.
Now with every purchase of Miessence products, you’ll actually be helping the environment by taking excess carbon out of the atmosphere.
To accomplish this important work, Miessence has extended our partnership with Greenfleet, a leading conservation organization in Australia that provides practical ways for people, businesses and organizations to prevent and minimize the greenhouse gases they produce. Greenfleet works to create forests in areas of environmental concern, putting back (where possible) the mix of native species that would have been present in the local area prior to land clearing, and now has in excess of 6 million trees growing to capture carbon on behalf of its supporters. That’s news worthy to be shouted from the mountain tops!

As an Independent Representative for Miessence products I am also purchasing my own carbon offsets through a great company called Native Energy.
Ely Organics is a carbon neutral home based business.
We purchase carbon off sets through Native Energy for transportation and home energy use.
