NEW YORK, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Autonomous.ai, the leading home office software, and
hardware company in the United
States, today announced their Saint Patrick's Day
Fundraising initiative, 'Share The Luck this Saint Patrick's Day,'
to raise funds for Climate Action Now! (CAN!), an NGO program
supported by the Earth Island Institute.
Through this initiative, $2.00
from each order placed in the Autonomous.ai store from March 16th to March 22nd will be donated to CAN!
which will go towards cultivating educational and ecological
resilience by removing pavements in urban centers to create organic
gardens. An individual donation directly to CAN! can be found on
their website or social media platforms.
With data released by NASA finding that the planet's global
temperature in 2020 was tied only with that of 2016, the previous
hottest year on record, initiatives like this are more necessary
than ever.
"Our environment is being threatened by many factors, and every
one of us must take action before it's too late," says Duy Huynh, CEO, and Founder of Autonomous.ai.
"By holding the 'Share the Luck This Saint Patrick's Day event,
Autonomous hopes to raise awareness among our customers to donate
to Climate Action Now! a meaningful and impactful non-government
organization with lots of practical activities that create green,
healthy living spaces in communities."
Those wanting to donate, while also revamping their home office
can choose from a range of Autonomous products, from hardware
including standing desks, ergonomic chairs, and other accessories,
to their flagship telepresence robot, Ohmni, which makes managing
an entirely remote team completely effortless. Every order placed,
regardless of product or price, will automatically trigger a
donation from Autonomous.
Funds raised for CAN! through the initiative will go towards the
removal of pavement in the City of San
Francisco to make way for gardens and other green spaces;
the restoration of watersheds and ecosystems to cultivate new
habitats for valuable pollinators and other local wildlife; to
increase engagement with, and promote hands-on gardening education
by cultivating a standards-based program related to climate change,
and provide education for multicultural communities on the
production and impact of increased consumption of locally-grown
organic fruits and vegetables.
Increasing the amount of vegetable gardens and green spaces in
urban environments can have a huge impact on climate change, with
gardens and other green spaces acting as natural carbon sinks,
which means they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and store it
beneath layers of soil. In addition to this, community gardens that
replace 20 percent of store-bought food across the community have
the potential to reduce each community members' carbon footprint by
68 pounds per year.
This initiative follows other successful fundraising drives held
by Autonomous, with the company working to raise funds to provide
hospitals and frontline workers with surgical masks during the
first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak.
