Summary

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, Gorgias, and Attentive**

To make the fight against climate change easy, affordable, and accessible by offsetting the carbon footprint of e-commerce - that's the mission of EcoCart. Today’s episode of The Story of a Brand features Dane Baker, Co-Founder of EcoCart, a brand that helps with sustainable shopping and carbon neutral orders.

Dane always viewed entrepreneurship as an amazing vehicle for change. To him, the environment and climate crisis go hand in hand. He started EcoCart with his Co-Founder when they found it complicated and expensive to deliver a sustainable shopping experience to customers.

The brand has developed a technology to calculate and then offset the carbon footprint of e-commerce orders. EcoCart also shows brands the most effective ways to communicate sustainable shopping to their customers. Today EcoCart works with more than 1,500 brands.

He talks about:

* Gratefulness
* Overview of the brand
* Win-win situation
* Helping consumers as well as brands
* What pushed him
* Working with other industries
* Plans for point of sale

Join Ramon Vela and Dane Baker as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.
