It’s time to break up with overconsumption and throwaway culture; and that means tossing out brands that actively contribute to climate change, plastic pollution, and other environmental issues. If you’re wondering how you can make a real impact, cheer up; you have more power than you realize! You vote with your dollar, and together, we can change things for the better.

MushMoji has a human-centered, sustainability-first approach. Everything we do is based on two simple questions: How does this benefit You? How does it affect our Planet?

Our mission is to ensure that you have easy access to Functional Mushrooms from Trusted Sources and be a part of the solution! We do the hard work so you don’t have to; because your time can be better used elsewhere.

LOCALLY SOURCED, SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED

All of our mushrooms are sourced through sustainable foraging or sustainable, certified organic, Canadian farms. Sourcing our ingredients locally not only supports Canadian-owned businesses, but further reduces our carbon footprint; bulk carriers and container ships together account for around 40% of total fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in Canada [1]. What's better than supporting our neighbors and helping the planet at the same time?

COMPOSTABLE vs. BIODEGRADABLE

Everything biodegrades. Everything starts to break down – but will it be in five weeks or five hundred years? That is the question. The term “biodegradable” when referring to plastics might sound nice, but it tends to create a false belief that it will break down, disappear, and leave no trace on the environment.

 Our Compostable pouches are made from plant derivatives, meaning they will naturally decompose with the help of heat, moisture, and microbes, to gently re-enter the earth within 8-12 months, without leaving harmful toxins behind.

NO MICRO PLASTICS!

Micro-plastics; as icky as it sounds. Many pouches on the market are made from petroleum-based plastics with enzyme additives to accelerate degradation. While these may degrade faster than traditional plastics, they are not decomposing; in fact, they break down into smaller and smaller pieces which end up toxifying our water sources, sensitive wetlands, and our ecosystem.

At MushMoji, we recognize the importance of addressing our environmental impact. We are excited to announce we’re taking a big step to reduce the carbon emissions footprint of our business by choosing green electricity for our company with Bullfrog Power, a Spark Power company.

“MushMoji's mandate is to innovate and establish better standards for environmental responsibility in our packaging, waste, and to further inspire positive change for Mother Nature within our greater global community.” said Founder Tamara.

Bullfrog Power’s producers put renewable electricity onto the grid to match the amount of conventional electricity used by MushMoji’s offices and facilities. Across Canada, Bullfrog’s green electricity comes from a blend of wind and low-impact hydro power sourced from new Canadian renewable energy facilities. Watch this How It Works video to learn more about Bullfrog’s renewable energy sources.

In addition to greening Canada’s energy systems, we’ll also be supporting community green energy projects through our partnership with Bullfrog Power. These projects include renewable initiatives with Indigenous Peoples, solar projects on schools and hockey rinks, and installations with renewable energy co-ops.

We are proud to be choosing green energy with Bullfrog Power! To learn more about Bullfrog Power, visit their website at bullfrogpower.com.
