Mangroves make you happy? Of course they do!
The whole world is doing Black Friday, half the world is watching and a few use this day to really make a difference - apart from goods.
For us as a sustainable brand, however, one thing is very clear: we at Nuffinz definitely want to be among the latter!
We want to make a difference!
So we let our heads smoke and thought about how we can get both under one roof Black Week 2021 : giving you something - AND making a difference at the same time. And because it was such a success last year, we will repeat our mangrove planting project in 2021. Black Week on Nuffinz goes like this:
For every purchase we plant a mangrove at Kitesurfing Lanka in Sri Lanka!
One might ask: Why are we planting mangroves? And why in Sri Lanka? The answer ist quite easy:
Because Kitesurfing Lanka in the north of the island is our second home! Because we at Nuffinz are enthusiastic kitesurfers. When we first landed in Sri Lanka and in kitesurfing Lanka years ago, it was the beginning of a long-standing friendship and passion that continues to this day.
That's where we took our first steps with Nuffinz, won our first ambassadors, and did our first photo and product shoots. In short: In Kitesurfing Lanka a lot started for us that continues to this day. Last but not least, our deep-rooted love for the country, people and fabulous nature.
Oh yes, so that you can see what we are doing in Sri Lanka and in kitesurfing Lanka:
Dilsiri Welikala and Leo Moret , , the two founders of Kitesurfing Lanka, are not only kitesurf crazy people but also environmentalists. Mangroves play a big role in their world - of course in Sri Lanka in general, but also in Kitesurfing Lanka.
"Mangrove systems protect young marine life, filter the water from pollution and serve as a barrier between water and land. We at Kitesurfing Lanka are aware of the importance of mangroves.
Therefore, as part of our Kite Green Initiative, we plant new mangroves, rehabilitate the degraded ones and ensure their survival. We try to create a big mangrove planting day every few months”.
Well, dear Nuffinz friends, so that this succeeds again this year: Join us and support our goal of loading a truck with 300 mangroves and planting them in Kitesurfing Lanka!
This not only helps the environment in Sri Lanka, but also has a direct impact on one of the most beautiful kite spots in the world: Kitesurfing Lanka. The mangroves protect the site from wind, breakwaters and storms; but also the local flora and fauna with their breathtaking wildlife right outside the front door.
How can you help? how can you help Just give away a bit of luck on our GREEN WEEK until November 29th.
With every Nuffinz purchase during Black Week/Green Week we will plant a mangrove for you in Sri Lanka. Isn't that GROOVY!?
We definitely say now
Thanks,
your nuffinz team
