# Greenplaces and CNaught team up for #TinyClimateActs 2025

Last Updated: September 10, 2025 | By [Greenplaces Team](https://greenplaces.com/author/greenplaces/ "Posts by Greenplaces Team") | 3 min read

Federal climate support may ebb and flow, but the call to act on sustainability remains loud and clear—especially for employees hungry to make a difference.

That’s why we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with [CNaught](https://www.cnaught.com/) just in time for #TinyClimateActs 2025, our annual Earth Month campaign (April 2–22) that turns everyday eco-friendly gestures into verifiable carbon credits.

## Why #TinyClimateActs matters

From wildfires to hurricanes, climate impacts have grown more severe, and while [policy funding for clean energy can feel uncertain](https://greenplaces.com/articles/corporate-sustainability-under-the-trump-administration/), employees and stakeholders still expect real climate action.

**#TinyClimateActs** answers the call by tapping into individuals’ daily behaviors—like skipping single-use plastics or carpooling—and matching each act with **1 metric ton** of carbon credits (up to 1,000 total acts) through [CNaught’s high-quality “Impact Lite” portfolio](https://www.cnaught.com/portfolios).

##### ☝️ Fun fact

One metric ton is roughly the CO₂ emitted by one round-trip flight between Los Angeles and London (in economy).

## The business case for engaging employees

#### Retention & productivity

One-third of employees say a [strong ESG initiative increases their commitment to their company](https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/sustainability/our-insights/sustainabilitys-strategic-worth-mckinsey-global-survey-results), and Gen Z is more likely to leave [if climate issues go ignored](https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/blog/human-capital-blog/2024/esg-in-hr.html). A UCLA study even shows [“green” companies can see a 16% productivity boost](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120910112036.htm)—all thanks to higher morale and leaner processes.

#### Brand reputation

Over 77% of consumers prefer buying from businesses with [strong environmental or social responsibility](https://online.hbs.edu/blog/post/corporate-social-responsibility-statistics). Publicly promoting an Earth Month campaign demonstrates your proactive stance to employees, customers, and investors alike.

#### Cost savings & innovation

Employees spot hidden inefficiencies that can waste resources. By encouraging them to share small changes—like turning off lights or reducing paper—you can uncover cost-saving opportunities and spark eco-friendly innovation.

## Our partnership with CNaught

#### High-integrity carbon credits

CNaught sources projects rated highly by third-party agencies ([Sylvera](https://www.sylvera.com/), [BeZero](https://bezerocarbon.com/), [Calyx Global](https://calyxglobal.com/), [Renoster](https://www.renoster.co/)).

By diversifying these credits, CNaught ensures every ton genuinely addresses carbon emissions—so each act your employees log contributes to real impact.

#### Supported by solid expertise

Greenplaces and CNaught coordinate seamlessly, simplifying how your team sees and contributes to verifiable climate projects. Whether it’s nature-based removals or methane capture, you’ll have full confidence in the quality of each credit.
