m-cause

Just before XMAS, last year, I was looking for a good place to make online purchases linked up with any type of cause for good. After a bit of searching, I stumbled upon EarthMoment–an online site where I could get quality products and offset carbon emissions all in one go. I was pretty happy to find such such a site and mentioned it within an earlier blog post. So, before Earth Day (Apr 22) I thought I would do a follow-up on EarthMoment…as I went through the site, my wife was sitting next to me and I thought it would be great to get her some flowers as she has been putting up with a lot of blogging lately. So, I quickly typed in tulips (one of her favorites) into the search bar and proceeded through the process. Additional side note: We just attended a nice tulip festivalin Morges, Switzerland–just outside of Geneva last week.

Anyway, I found a multi-color flower arrangement and proceeded through the process. Just before buying, I was prompted to sign up as a member on the site…after entering my data, I was entered into the EarthMoment “club.” This was pretty cool part…after signing up, EarthMoment provides a tool that helps you start tracking your carbon offsetting progress.

All in all the site worked well and provided a pretty seemless experience. However, I did not get those tulips for my wife as I am in Switzerland and the affiliate on the site did not have an international partner that they could pass the order on to…anyway, probably not the best product to test on the site from my side. Guess it is likely that many of the partners are only shipping within the US, so I may have to wait a bit until EarthMoment becomes more international.
