HairPeople Salon Dublin Offsets its Carbon Footprint by Helping to Rebuild Ukraine

RATHFARNHAM, Ireland - May 17, 2023 - PRLog -- HairPeople, a renowned, luxury hair salon in Dublin, becomes a truly carbon neutral business, by partnering in a Ukraine reconstruction initiative that is powered by Hemp Carbon Credits from Tao Climate, a leading provider of innovative environmental technology solutions. HairPeople Salon Dublin, which is owned by Bernadette Byrnes, Ireland's renowned hairdresser, and Jennifer Zamparelli, an internationally famous media and TV star, takes a bold step towards sustainability. HairPeople takes measurable action to reduce its carbon footprint and promote environmental responsibility in the hair industry by buying Hemp Carbon Credits, which are a new category of carbon offset product. The captured carbon is being used to build sustainable housing in Ukraine with hempcrete, a carbon positive construction material made from hemp hurds.

How it works: Tao Climate conducted a thorough carbon emissions audit with three steps: Measure, Minimise, Manage. Switching to 100% renewable electricity, HairPeople purchased 4 tonnes of CO2e Hemp Carbon Credits from Tao Climate to offset the salon's legacy and upstream carbon footprints. HairPeople is now certified as carbon neutral by Tao Climate, according to Tao's comprehensive, science-based, data-driven methodology.

Jennifer Zamparelli, co-founder of HairPeople, expresses her delight at the salon's achievement: "We are proud to be a truly carbon neutral hair salon. As a business, we have a responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainability in the hair industry. By purchasing Hemp Carbon Credits from Tao Climate, we are not only offsetting our carbon emissions, but also supporting the development of sustainable housing communities in Ukraine, for people who desperately need somewhere to live. We're also showing the way for the hair industry to deliver amazing services, sustainably. So, it's a true win-win-win for us."

Bernadette Byrnes, founder of HairPeople and a widely-respected and highly-experienced hairdresser, comments: "As an industry, hairdressing can have a significant impact on the environment. In becoming carbon neutral, we demonstrate our commitment to embracing sustainable business practices. We hope our actions will inspire other businesses in the hair industry to join us. Helping to house people sustainably in Ukraine is a wonderful way to use the carbon that's been captured from the atmosphere. The entire HairPeople team is so proud of what we've achieved in this, our first year of operation."
