All right, Cathies, you know, we always have incredible Cathies or listen to this podcast that are doing really cool businesses.

And one of them is called Eco Drive. Welcome, guys.

Yeah, thanks for having us.

Thanks for having us, Dee. We met because of, I think originally,

Steve from Alice Gray had told me about what you guys were doing and we had met individually separate from him and you guys when we first met we're doing a business

Where at checkout?

You allowed the consumer to donate a portion of the purchase?

Yeah, the the brand can either choose if they want their customer to opt in to planting trees or if they wanted to do it on behalf of their customer.

That was how we initially launched E.co Drive.

I remember the first question I asked is like, are you guys really planting trees?

Is there a picture, is there a video?

How did you end up proving that out at scale?

Like the con?

Because I feel like a lot of people want to do it,

but they're just like,

are you just keeping this money are we actually

getting a tree yeah I mean that's why eco drive exists and why there's an

opportunity for us is we actually verify all the trees and impact in general

on the ground.

So we receive timestamps and geo coordinates

of every unit of impact, aka tree,

that's planted and that's done through the non-profits
