how we help the environment

The Environment and our POW pledge

Climate change is the biggest challenge that faces the world and humanity today. Sea levels are rising and the glaciers are melting. Crops are failing and the oceans are dying. The natural world we’re so passionate about is under attack and it needs our help. That’s why Powder Mad ardently supports Protect Our Winters (POW) and pledge to do everything in our power to protect the environment.

We firmly believe that our wonderful community of skiers, snowboarders and mountain lovers have an incredible voice and can help us to play our part in influencing positive change. Without it, the world we know and love could disappear – forever.

Behind the Scenes

So, what can we do? As a collective, we need to raise our voices and shout from the rooftops of the mountains we all love and adore. We can take responsibility for our own actions, yet this does not mean no longer doing what you love and enjoy. Instead, we can make a positive contribution back to Mother Nature, replacing what we have used in the best way possible. This could be via the small gift of a tree, changing to an electric car or refusing to buy plastic. We can also monitor the source of our diet and use renewable energy to power our network servers and heat our homes.

Perhaps most importantly in this world of ever-expanding choice, we can choose to solely purchase from climate-aware organisations. Now is the time to come together and save our planet.

Make a difference with Powder Mad

Powder Mad is working in partnership with a number of tree-planting organisations around the world. Via our well-connected global network, we’re able to provide access to an exciting variety of projects in multiple locations.

Every single purchase made with Powder Mad will fund the purchase of at least one tree. Larger trips such as Heli-skiing require the planting of multiple trees and we’ll ensure this is funded and actioned accordingly. We’re passionate about this and are thankful to all of our members and customers for supporting this initiative.

When you make your purchase with Powder Mad, simply select who you wish to send the tree/gifts to and we’ll send the certificate on your behalf. Don’t worry, we’ll keep you in the loop by copying you in.

Did you know?

in one year, an acre of forest can absorb twice the CO2 produced by the average car’s annual mileage

Although planting trees is not the only solution to climate change, it is certainly part of the answer and will make an incredible contribution in our fight against this threat. Every single tree planted in your name offsets an incredible 0.3 tonnes of carbon, whilst playing it’s part helping the planet for generations to come.

What’s more, you’ll also help support invaluable community building projects. Your gifted trees provide farmers and villagers with the skills and financial support to feed and house their families. It helps to reduce extreme poverty, create brand new jobs and restore biodiversity to the area.
