WHAT DOES BEING “CARBON NEGATIVE” MEAN?
Carbon negativity means that Misadventure, as a company, gets rid of more atmospheric carbon than it creates. This is possible because of how baked goods normally get disposed of. This doesn’t refer to how your household may or may not eat the end of the sandwich loaf. This refers to the massive amount of bread that never gets bought or consumed… that must go somewhere. When it goes to the landfill it turns into methane. When it gets fed to cows, they create methane.
Methane is 25x-40x more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. That multiplier matters. When Misadventure’s factory uses natural gas or electricity, then the CO2 the factory produces is less than the amount of CO2 equivalent that the bread would have produced as it turned to methane.
CO2e or “CO2 equivalent” is a term used by climate scientists so as to make sure everyone is talking about the same thing — apples to apples, so to speak. Misadventure captures more CO2e than the amount of CO2 (no “e”) that it puts off.
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR BAKED GOODS FROM?
Misadventure works closely with our local food banks to ensure we never keep any food from hungry mouths.
The San Diego Food Bank does an incredible job at providing food assistance and resources to hundreds of thousands of people in our city, focusing on giving the most nutritious food to the needy. Baked goods are abundant and considered empty calories, so when they have to be discarded, they turn into a large financial burden for institutions such as this one - enter Misadventure. We take the items the Food Banks can no longer donate and upcycle them into our delicious carbon negative vodka! We are the last stop before these baked goods go to landfill.
IS YOUR VODKA GLUTEN FREE?
All spirits are gluten free. Gluten doesn’t survive the distilling process and our vodka in particular is distilled 12 times, so it’s striped from all gluten and impurities.
IS YOUR VODKA ORGANIC OR VEGAN?
The distillation process strips our vodka from all impurities, and therefore the final product doesn’t contain any pesticides or traces of animal products. Since our main focus as a company is stopping excess baked goods from ending up in landfills, it’s important to note that we don’t pick and choose where the baked goods come from. We take from all sources because regardless of how the goods are made, once wasted, they will impact the environment negatively.
DOES YOUR VODKA CONTAIN MORE SUGAR THAN OTHERS?
