Green Friday instead of Black Friday - doing double good for the environment

Green Friday instead of Black Friday - doing double good for the environment

NIKIN is making Black Friday Green Friday like it has been for the last few years. Instead of participating in the discount battles, we prefer to double the positive impact on the environment - by planting two trees per product sold instead of one as usual. And we do this the whole Green Friday weekend from Friday to Monday.

Double the trees, double the impact: On Green Friday weekend, we plant two trees per product sold instead of one. This way, we double the positive impact on nature instead of participating in the extreme price battles around Black Friday.

Double impact on the environment

Normally, we plant one Tree for every product sold - on Green Friday weekend, we even plant two. To give you an idea of the impact on the environment twice the number of trees can have, we present you with some calculation examples:

  • Oxygen: A small Tree about 20 meters high produces about 10,000 liters of oxygen per day. This is enough for about five to ten people who need between 500 and 2,000 liters of oxygen per day. If you buy a NIKIN product at Green Friday , the two trees you plant could produce oxygen for up to 20 people.
  • Dust filter: Trees are not considered the green lungs of cities for nothing, because they filter particles and dust from the air via leaves or needles. One Tree tree filters up to 100 kilograms of dust from the air per year. So your two NIKIN trees together could filter up to 200 kilograms per year.
  • CO2 storage: How much CO2 a Tree binds depends on how old the Tree is, its wood density and its growth rate, but also soil quality, climate and water supply play a role. A rough example: A beech tree in our latitudes binds about 12.5 kilograms of CO2. In order to absorb one ton of CO2, the beech would therefore have to become 80 years old - or two trees together would have to become 40 years old.
  • Animals: Trees are home to various animal species. In addition to various insects, woodpeckers, martens, dormice, squirrels and bird species also live in the trees - depending on the country and climate zone, of course, the inhabitants differ. Researchers estimate that there are about as many animals per Tree as there are inhabitants of a medium-sized city. So at Green Friday , you can provide a home for an enormous number of animals with your trees.

Symbolic products for Green Friday

To symbolise the double number of trees, we have embroidered two trees instead of one on a few products. But not only these products, but all sold NIKIN products will plant two trees instead of one on the Green Friday weekend. You can find the products in our webshop from Black Friday (or Green Friday).

800,000 trees planted and every Tree counts

Within four years, the NIKIN community has collectively planted over 800,000 trees. This has already had an enormous positive impact on our environment. But we are convinced that every Tree counts and therefore plant "tree by tree". At Green Friday , too, we are delighted with every order and every pair of planted trees. By the way, there are no additional costs for our customers due to the double number of trees. The sales price of our products remains the same, we simply donate twice as much money to our planting partner OneTreePlanted. You can find more information about tree planting here.
