Today is Red Squirrel Appreciation Day, a chance to shine a light on one of the UK’s most iconic native species. With their rust-coloured fur, fluffy tails, and playful antics, red squirrels are a beloved part of British wildlife. However, they’re also an endangered species, facing habitat loss and competition from invasive grey squirrels. At 3Style Scooters, we’re passionate about protecting the environment—not just for red squirrels, but for all living creatures. Through our sustainable practices, partnerships, and eco-conscious ethos, we’re proud to contribute to a greener planet while bringing joy to families with our innovative range of kids scooters.
Scooting Towards a Greener Future
At 3Style Scooters, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’ve partnered with Ecologi to plant a tree for every order placed on our website. To date, our customers have helped us plant over 1,000 trees, creating vibrant forests that provide homes for countless species, including the red squirrel.
But our commitment doesn’t stop there. We’ve also teamed up with Shopify Planet to ensure that our shipping process is not just carbon-neutral but actively works towards removing carbon from the atmosphere. Every delivery of a kids scooter helps offset carbon emissions, and we’re proud to have already removed over 20 tons of carbon from the environment. These efforts make 3Style Scooters a brand you can feel good about supporting—because when you buy from us, you’re contributing to a healthier planet for generations to come.
Why Trees Matter
Trees are more than just beautiful additions to the landscape; they are vital to life on Earth. They provide oxygen, store carbon, stabilize soil, and create habitats for wildlife. For species like the red squirrel, trees are an essential part of their survival. Red squirrels thrive in woodlands, where they forage for nuts and seeds, build their dreys (nests), and raise their young. Every tree planted through our partnership with Ecologi helps restore and expand these vital habitats, giving red squirrels and other wildlife a fighting chance.
The RGS-0: The Ultimate Toddler Scooter with Seat
One of our most popular models, the RGS-0, is a hit with both parents and toddlers. This toddler scooter with seat is specifically designed for little riders who are just starting out. The seat attachment makes it perfect for toddlers still mastering their balance, allowing them to scoot along comfortably while building strength and coordination.
As your child grows and gains confidence, the seat can be removed, transforming the RGS-0 into a sleek, easy-to-use three-wheeled scooter. Its lightweight frame, smooth steering, and durable construction make it a joy to ride, ensuring hours of active outdoor fun. By encouraging outdoor play, the RGS-0 not only promotes physical health but also nurtures a connection to nature—an important lesson for future environmental stewards.
Scooters and Schools: Inspiring Active, Eco-Friendly Communities
In addition to helping families, we’re also committed to making a difference in schools. Through our scooters for schools program, we partner with educators to encourage children to embrace sustainable, active transportation. Scooting to school is not only a fun way for kids to get moving, but it also helps reduce traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions around school grounds.
By promoting eco-friendly transportation, we’re teaching kids the value of sustainability from an early age. Whether it’s through group rides in the playground or exciting school-based initiatives, our partnerships aim to inspire young riders to think globally while acting locally.
Celebrating Red Squirrel Appreciation Day
The plight of the red squirrel reminds us of the importance of preserving biodiversity and protecting natural habitats. With only an estimated 140,000 red squirrels remaining in the UK, their survival depends on our ability to conserve and restore woodland environments. At 3Style Scooters, we’re proud to be part of this mission. By planting trees, reducing carbon emissions, and encouraging families to spend more time outdoors, we’re doing our bit to ensure a brighter future for red squirrels and countless other species.
