Birdie er en innovativ og prisvindende indeklimamåler. Når luftkvaliteten er dårlig, falder Birdie® død om, indtil du åbner vinduet og giver den et friskt pust luft. • Patenteret og prisvindende dansk design. • Produceret i 70% genbrugsplast. • Højkvalitets CO2-sensor-teknologi fra Schweiz. • Allerede på væggen i +50.000 af hjem i 70 lande. _______________________ Et usynligt problem Vidste du at du tilbringer 90 % af dit liv indendørs? — Ofte i dårligt indeklima, hvilket øger risikoen for astma, hovedpine, allergier og søvnforstyrrelser. Alene i EU skønnes 80 millioner hjem at have et dårligt indeklima. Hvad kan man så gøre ved det? De fleste eksperter anbefaler ‘’udluftning’’ som den bedste løsning til dårligt indeklima. Sundhedsstyrelsen anbefaler endda, at du lufter ud 2-3 gange om dagen. Birdie® er skabt til at minde dig om at lufte ud på de rigtige tidspunkter - på en elegant og venlig måde. Hvorfor en kanariefugl? I gamle dage tog minearbejdere kanariefugle med sig i kulminen for at blive påmindet om giftige gasser. Når fuglen besvimede, var det tid til at komme op af minen. Med en indbygget CO2-sensor fungerer Birdie® på nøjagtig samme måde - bare i dit hjem, på dit kontor eller i dit klasseværelse. _______________________ Hvorfor Birdie? 1. 😌 Forbedret sundhed og velvære (Source: The World Green Building Council) 2. 💡 Forbedret produktivitet (Source: Harvard University T.H. of Public Health) 3. 🐤 Prisvindende Dansk design pynter på væggen og får automatisk en bedre placering i hjemmet, som er essentiel for et produkt der kræver din opmærksomhed (modsat mange konkurrenter som ligner røgalarmer og wifi-routers, der ofte bliver gemt væk bag sofaen) Social links: https://www.instagram.com/birdie.scandinavia/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/birdie-scandinavia/

EcoTree is a green-tech company specializing in sustainability. Our goal is to promote environmental awareness and engage individuals and businesses in eco-friendly behaviour by offering simple, concrete, and financially viable solutions to becoming a tree or even forest owner. Every single day 3.4 billion tons of CO2 is released into the atmosphere worldwide. In Europe, we are among the worst polluters in the world. While we can do a lot to reduce our emissions, it is impossible to stay completely CO2 neutral. You can, in turn, offset your carbon footprint by planting trees. As a matter of fact, the forest is one of our best means to fight global warming, as trees absorb CO2 through the process of photosynthesis. EcoTree has democratized and digitalized forestry. With EcoTree, it is easy and accessible both for individuals and businesses to contribute to the reforestation and preservation of our common green heritage. EcoTree enables everybody to become a tree owner. EcoTree has a team of forest experts that take care of planting and maintaining the forests in which your trees are located. You, being the owner of the trees, are entitled to receive 100% of the revenue generated from the wood sale when your trees have reached maturity, cut, and the forest is renewed. EcoTree implements a “close to nature” forestry management plan in which the preservation of the biodiversity in the forest is kept at the heart of our activities, and for every tree that is cut, EcoTree plants three new ones. The idea behind EcoTree came up when a group of French childhood friends went to Copenhagen on a trip in 2014. There were many things that the group of friends adored about the Scandinavian lifestyle, but one thing that especially struck them was the well-functioning bottle deposit system. On each can, glass, or plastic bottle you purchase in Denmark you pay a small premium as a deposit that you get back when returning the empty bottles and cans to the supermarket. Consequently, the cities are clean and society more sustainable. This simple idea of rewarding sustainability led to the foundation of EcoTree. Approximately 600,000 newly planted trees later, the idea that was born in Scandinavia returns to its place of origin, as EcoTree has opened its new international office in Copenhagen in September 2019.
