we support charities

(and we like trees)

We believe in supporting people and organizations who are doing some good in the world.

For every new shop opened on cosa verde, we plant ten trees through Trees for the Future. The world needs to be green for generations to come.

And 10% of all fees paid by sellers on cosa verde are donated to charity. Sellers can choose for their fees to go to one of the following organizations:

• ACCION International
