Environmental Policy

I believe everyone can make a difference to improving the environment and I know that often, this is just by making small changes. I’m committed to The Little Jar Company becoming as environmentally friendly as possible and on this page you can see some of the small but important things I’m doing to try and play my part.

I also know not everything I use can be or will be 100% environmentally friendly so for every 10 orders, The Little Jar Company will plant a tree sapling with the National Trust. You can see how many trees have been planted so far HERE.
