Reducing CO2 emissions
We live in a world that desperately needs low carbon alternatives. Wonderbag ticks the box.
Every Wonderbag helps the environment by reducing a family’s consumption of fuels like electricity, gas, paraffin and wood. Research shows that when families use a Wonderbag 3 or 4 times a week, it reduces CO2 emissions by 0.5 carbon tonnes per home, per year. That's the same amount produced by a small car every four months.
Easing poverty
By reducing their fuel costs by approximately 30%, Wonderbags will change the lives of families living in poverty. These energy savings can translate into a better quality of life for a family, better education for their children or spare money to invest into income generation initiatives.
One simple change to people’s behaviour can change their lives.
Unemployment in poor communities
Natural Balance, the company behind the Wonderbag, has established factories in poor communities and trained distribution teams. More jobs have been created for Wonderbag Outreach Staff who ensure high levels of product usage and for staff who audit, record and monitor product usage and performance. People earn fair salaries which helps to alleviate unemployment in the poorest communities.
- 645 jobs have been created as of September 2011
- We plan to create 8,016 jobs by September 2016
