Grow Your Own ESG: How Everyday Planting Actions Can Make a Difference for the Planet

ESG Isn’t Just a Corporate Responsibility—You Can Make a Difference Too!

When we hear about ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), it’s easy to think of corporate sustainability reports, carbon reduction strategies, and government environmental policies. That can make ESG feel like something distant—something for big businesses to handle, not individuals like us.
But the truth is, ESG shouldn’t just be a corporate responsibility—it’s something we can all take part in!

You don’t need to be an environmental expert or make big lifestyle changes. Even small actions—like planting a seed—can create a positive impact on the planet.
At 1% Nutrition, we believe that every new leaf isn’t just adding greenery to your life—it’s contributing to a meaningful environmental change. That’s why we’ve launched the "Grow Your Own ESG" program, giving you the chance to make a difference while enjoying the simple joy of growing plants.

How Can Growing Plants Help Reduce Carbon?

Plants Are Natural "Carbon Absorbers"

Through the process of photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) and release oxygen (O₂), helping to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That means every time you grow a plant or see a new leaf sprout, you’re doing your part for the environment!

The Science Backs It Up:

✅ A mature tree can absorb about **48 pounds (21.6 kg)** of CO₂ per year—equivalent to the emissions from driving a small car **6,200 miles (10,000 km).**
✅ A single houseplant can absorb around **0.35 to 0.7 ounces (10–20 g)** of CO₂ per year. While that may seem small, imagine the impact if thousands of households join in—it adds up to a massive collective difference!
Even a small potted plant can make a difference. When more people start planting, we can create real change together!

You Grow, We Give—Introducing the "Grow Your Own ESG" Program

At 1% Nutrition, we believe that sustainability isn’t just a corporate responsibility—it’s a shared mission between businesses and consumers. To make ESG more accessible, we’ve launched the "Grow Your Own ESG" program, transforming your planting efforts into real environmental contributions.

📢 How It Works:

Whether it’s a desk plant, a balcony garden, or a backyard project—every plant counts!

2. Watch Your Plants Thrive
