Sambazon is a company with a firm belief that they have the power to change the world.

“Açaí’s a powerful berry from the heart of the Amazon and by harvesting it in a meaningful way, we’re able to sustainably share its superfood nutrition with the world.

We were the first company to bring Açaí to the states and we’re in it for the long run. Since Day 1, we’ve been dedicated to our farmers, to you, and to the power of a positive future. We hope you’ll join our tribe of crazy change-making, do-gooders out there sharing purple smiles with the world.”

On Earth Day, April 22, Sambazon kicked off their Purple For The Planet movement in an attempt to save 30 species in 30 days.

According to the company’s website, for every 584 acres of rainforest lost, we lose one species to extinction.

In order to prevent this devastating act, Sambazon asks that you dye, chalk or filter your hair, brows or beard purple and post a selfie tagging Sambazon and #PurpleForThePlanet.

In doing so, Sambazon will buy back 5 acres of rainforest on your behalf.
