Thinking about tomorrow today<\/h2>\n
Our entire product portfolio is crafted out of wood. Therefore we take a significant value out of its availability and we are aware of its beauty and uniqueness just as our customers. This fact entails for all of us a certain degree of responsibility to preserve this resource not only for us but also for the generations to come. On this account we actively contribute to the reforestation of the rainforests following the principle of sustainability because merely with a long-term approach we can continue to enjoy this wonderful resource.<\/p>\n
Reforestation in Guatemala<\/h2>\n
For every product sold, this applies to our whole portfolio, we support the OroVerde project \u201eSierra del Lacand\u00f3n\u201c with one seedling in Guatemala (one Euro for every purchase). In this way 1000 square meter of rainforest can be reforested for only 66\u20ac which in turn will bind 2,9 tons of dangerous CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n
The national park \u201eSierra del Lacand\u00f3n\u201c is habitat for a multitude of \u00a0plant and animal species (e.g. Tapir & Jaguar) and home of around 16.000 people. The advanced slash-&-burn farming and deforestation at the fringes of the national park are endangering the biodiversity and basis of live for the people there. \u201eDonating rainforest\u201c is \u201egiving alternatives\u201c. Farmers will be trained in sustainable and environmental friendly agriculture as well as educated about alternative sources of income.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Due to the increasing demand for tropical timber, their stock declined on a steady basis during the last years. Given that this demand is met mainly by overexploitation, most of these timbers are nowadays endangered.<\/p>\n We don\u00b4t want to support this trend towards endangered tropical timber, because even if some of these woods are sold with Eco labels or – certificates, it doesn\u00b4t necessarily mean that these types of wood are not endangered.<\/p>\n Therefore we consciously rely on local timber like pear wood, oak wood, maple wood, walnut or even bamboo, because either due to their stock or their growth rates they are not at risk of overexploitation or deforestation.<\/p>\n Here you can find a small selection of endangered timbers, which shouldn\u00b4t be bought, used or allowed in tender procedures due to species, climate or tropical forest protection reasons.<\/p>\n Our Mantra: Back to the roots The project retrostiel aims to capture the charm of wood in form of sunglasses and watches and to make them available for everyone. At the same time, we don\u00b4t want to harm the environment. This objective combined with the expertise acquired from years of wearing different types of sunglasses […]\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yst_prominent_words":[544,536,392,517,516,542,539,540,541,533,534,531,376,535,537,543,485,518,538,532],"class_list":["post-2615","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2615"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18450,"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2615\/revisions\/18450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Scarlet](\"https:\/\/www.retrostiel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/GUA06-Scarlet-Macaw-6-Hellrote-Ara_Wille_OroVerde.jpg\")
