Offset Your Carbon Footprint
June 2018
W2O has embarked on a new partnership with UCapture, a new green-tech platform, and South Pole, a carbon offset company, to reduce consumers' environmental impact when they shop.
We're asking you to take part. Signing up is easy, it doesn’t cost you a thing, and it’s making a difference — by reducing your carbon footprint through our featured carbon offset project, and by helping to fund our W2O sustainability initiatives.
HOW IT WORKS
UCapture funds verified carbon offsets projects such as our featured project, a reforestation and watershed protection initiative in the Andes, at no cost to you when you shop with more than 4,000 online affiliates. UCapture’s partner websites donate a portion of your spending to support carbon offset initiatives, at no extra cost to consumers. UCapture dedicates a portion of the funds it receives to World Ocean Observatory, for our help in growing their green-tech platform.
This simple initiative will instantly make your consumer activity more environmentally friendly while helping to support the long-term objectives of our ocean clean-up sustainability initiatives.
WHY JOIN UCAPTURE?
• Become a more sustainable consumer
• Reduce the environmental impact of your purchases
• Support W2O ocean clean-up sustainability programs
• Support Watershed Protection in the Andes

OUTLAW OCEAN MUSIC PROJECT:
WHERE MUSIC MEETS JOURNALISM
All music in this project is based on THE OUTLAW OCEAN, a New York Times best-selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. The reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun-running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships, and other topics. The music is an act of solidarity across geography and language, and an attempt at storytelling from written word to music. It is a captivating collection of inspired songs. Take your pick: listen to ambient tracks, classical, electronic or hiphop.
