Of course, we would like to take up the cudgels for MAX's leather glass coaster just as we do for all of our products. Tell you how imperceptibly it blends into almost any interior to provide the best base for your glasses, cups, jugs and vases in a way that is as discreet as it is stylish.
But what we want even more is to fulfill a promise with MAX - namely to do something meaningful for our world, and this is how it works:
We are donating all the profits to a special nature conservation and future initiative: the ancient beech forest project of the well-known forester, conservationist and author Peter Wohlleben ("The Secret Life of Trees" and others). Each coaster finances one square meter of existing, old beech forest for 50 years.
By the way, if you can't decide on a color, choose the black leather coaster. You simply can't go wrong with it. Of course, our heart always burns for the typical leather color cognac. At Good Wilhelm in the studio, we also prefer to place our coffee cup on MAX in cognac. By the way, should a few water stains appear, you can simply wipe them off again. However, if a few stains do appear, they will never look unsightly.
Okay, there are now many projects that use trees as CO2 sinks. However, the difference to the primeval forest project is that it is mostly about reforestation with - naturally tiny - trees. On average, it takes at least 20 to 30 years for a tree to become the "crown of oxygen creation". Unfortunately, many seedlings do not even make it that far, and often the long-term development of the cultivation area can neither be controlled nor guaranteed.
Maybe you've already thought of it yourself. Leather coasters are an excellent gift for just about anyone. Not only are you giving 4m² of beech forest for 50 years, which is a great gift in itself, but you are also giving 4 leather coasters. Above all, the coasters can be used and tested straight away. If that's not the coolest gift of the party, we don't know what is.
It therefore sounds more than plausible, not only to us, to protect forests that have existed for many centuries and to preserve them as valuable refuges. Many animals and plants need very old trees in order to survive.
In the primeval forest project, an area of forest is leased depending on the amount. This ensures that it is not sold and all the life in it is turned into small wood. Especially now, when timber prices are on the rise, it is all the more important that we protect old-growth forests.
It makes absolutely no sense to plant masses of young trees that will only effectively convert CO2 into oxygen in 20-30 years. Of course, we are not against the planting of new trees, which can make a lot of sense, but it has to be done very carefully. Not only must the right area be found, but also the right type of tree.
Of course, it sounds great when a project or a company plants several football pitches with young trees. But this should not just be a short-term marketing campaign. If the next flood washes away all the young trees because the compensation area is located directly in a flood zone, then you haven't won at all. Our first intention must therefore be to protect the existing forest. Only then should we concentrate on developing new forests.
