This seems like a really cool idea! Making it easy to do good is almost always a wise choice.

Personally, up until now I've been subscribed to Wren to offset some of my personal CO2 footprint and get a little bit more educated about climate adjacent topics: https://www.wren.co/

It's not really something you'd use in an automated fashion, but rather a yearly subscription, so not comparable against the solution in the post 1:1, but it still might be of interest to some.

Of course, one can also talk about the impact of personal decisions vs those of corporations and the need for legislation and so on, but I'll take what's achievable for me, even if I do a little good.



Thanks for the praise - we appreciate it.

We know Wren and in fact have a similar project for carbon removal called "Carbon Removed"[1]. We love the idea of a subscription to remove your footprint or even just a one-time removal to compensate for a long-distance flight.

On the conversation of personal versus corporations - we agree that a system/societal change is required but believe this will only with all of us beginning to change our ways and have these conversations with our networks. Society is made up of individuals after all :)

Thanks to you for contributing to a sustainable future.
