Our Story

Headquartered in Walnut Creek, California, Melomys® is named in honor of the Bramble Cay melomys, the first victim of human-caused climate change. The Melomys rubicola (aka the Bramble Cay melomys) was declared extinct by Australia's Queensland state government in February 2019.

Climate change has become a pressing issue that has been making headlines more and more. The fate of the Bramble Cay melomys serves as a precautionary tale of the severe consequences of global warming if left unchecked.

At Melomys, we strive to be part of the solution because we believe the Bramble Cay melomys should be the last casualty of human-caused climate change.

Our commitment to a greener future

Melomys is committed to leaving a positive mark on the earth. We do this through activism, education, and a business model that gives back. With the help of our friends One Tree Planted, we will plant five trees for every item you purchase!

One Tree Planted works with local communities and experts to create a lasting impact on ecosystems and people. They ensure that all trees planted are native species and have a rigorous monitoring process to guarantee the long-term survival of new trees.

A message from the founder

Why I started Melomys

Climate change protests are gaining serious traction these days. People are more aware than ever the impacts of climate change on our collective future. But there's also something interesting going on - people are showcasing their support by shopping at fast fashion stores. They might wear a shirt that says "There's No Planet B" to promote environmental activism, but here's the thing - those shirts aren't exactly aligned with the message. That shirt may have done more damage to the Earth when it was manufactured.

This is why I started Melomys. If you buy a shirt showcasing your support for the environment, the path it takes to reach you should match the message. It seemed only appropriate that I name the company in honor of one of the victims of human-caused climate change.

Community & Environment

We believe that people and the planet are more important than profits. Communities are where people come together to support each other and make the world a better place.

Lead By Example

We want to be a force for good and make sure that our actions have a positive impact. We set an example for other companies by always striving to do the right thing.

Diversity & Inclusion

We believe the outdoors should be a place for everyone. No matter who you are or where you come from, we want you to feel welcome in nature and empowered to make a difference for the planet.

Our stand is that much like individuals attempt to live a balanced life, businesses too need to consider all three pillars of sustainability – economic, social and environmental in order to achieve long term success.

Passion for Results

Results matter, and we're passionate about achieving them the right way. It's what drives us to keep pushing to be better. Because in the end, that's what creates lasting change - real, tangible results that make a difference in people's lives.
