Social and Environmental Efforts

Buy a SUNNAN light, IKEA will donate one to UNICEF
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
IKEA helps Enlighten Children
Help bring a little light in the dark for those in need. Starting June 1, 2009- for each SUNNAN solar cell powered lamp you buy, we'll donate one to UNICEF. These environmentally friendly lamps will go to children in developing countries, so they can read, write and study after sunset, even if their homes have no electricity.

Our SUNNAN lamp runs on solar cells that transform sunlight into electricity, it requires no electrical connections. This lamp will help you save energy and reduce your footprint. LED consumes 70% less energy and has at least 4 times longer life than incandescent bulbs in similar decorative lighting. These lamps come with three rechargeable AA 1.2V batteries for solar cell driven products, it takes about 9 hours to recharge and will last for approximately 4 hours.

Enlighten your life and that of a child!

Every dollar plant a tree
PLANT A TREE EVENT
Every dollar plants a tree!
IKEA has partnered up again with American Forest in an effort to continue working towards our goal of having an overall positive impact on people and the environment.
Planting trees is a low cost way to remove carbon dioxide from our air. Trees cool our cities and reduce our energy use. A donation through IKEA to the American Forest, is a great way to help the environment. Every dollar you donate will plant 1 tree in the right place for the right reason.

Our Home, the earth is the most important place! You can make your donation at IKEA when you checkout.

IKEA & THE ENVIRONMENT
We're helping to lower energy demand
At IKEA Carson, conserving the environment is important to us. We share many of the same environmental goals as our partners at Southern California Edison. That’s why we are participating in a program to help decrease the environmental impact of generating electricity. By lowering our energy use, we’re also doing our part to maintain grid reliability. So if the lights seem a little lower, or the temperature feels a tad warmer, it’s because we’re helping the community work toward a greener future.
