Listen "Spotlight: Two Drifters Distillery -- Carbon Negative Rum Innovators"
Episode Synopsis
Meet Two Drifters Distillery... world's first carbon negative rum brand and the Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day for September 20. In this Spotlight series episode of Seeing Green: Solutions for Our Daily Lives, we look at the spirits industry — beloved for celebration and connection, but also one with a heavy environmental footprint from farming, distilling, packaging, and shipping.Enter Two Drifters, a distillery founded in Exeter, UK, by Russ and Gemma Wakeham. Their adventurous brand name comes from Moon River, and their rums — from Pure White to Spiced Pineapple Overproof — bring flavor, character, and purpose to every pour. Beyond great taste, they’ve committed to bold sustainability: running on 100% renewable energy, using lightweight bottles and compostable seals, and partnering with Climeworks and Carbfix to remove unavoidable emissions. By publishing third-party verified LCAs and EPDs, they’re showing that transparency and climate-positive action can redefine what it means to raise a glass. Two Drifters proves that sustainability isn’t just a garnish — it’s the spirit of the future.Please drink responsibly.Send us a textSupport the show Thanks for listening to Seeing Green: Solutions for Our Daily Lives.
