The most important issue our times, climate change, requires societal change. Change starts with individuals and @project_wren built the most user-friendly carbon offset/removal platform.

I know there are mixed opinions on whether carbon offsets is a good idea. The one thing I learned from
@project_wren is that there is a strong overlap between people reducing their emissions and those using their platform. Big decisions always start with awareness.1 reply 0 proslijeđenih tweetova 14 korisnika označava da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -
Besides political will we also need money in order to make this transition. The subscribers of
@project_wren is that voluntary force for change today. Unsurprisingly they don't churn/stop paying.1 reply 0 proslijeđenih tweetova 4 korisnika označavaju da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -
I think generally it's a better idea to offer carbon removal/offsets as a subscription and as closely as possible estimate someone's emissions that at each point of purchase of some emissions-related product. That's what
@project_wren offer.1 reply 0 proslijeđenih tweetova 4 korisnika označavaju da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -
Finally, for carbon removal products to work, they need a radical level of transparency to build trust. That trust have been broken up until now with many similar products. If you want to make a difference, subscribe here:https://projectwren.com/

Some people have questioned why taking 20% fee and being a for-profit company is reasonable in this case (Wren is B Corp). The truth is that many non-profits never reach impact at scale simply because they don't have enough revenue to reach 100M people.

Personally I rather support something that reaches 100M where 80% of the money go towards carbon removal vs 100k where 90% goes towards carbon removal. Solving climate change isn't a purity test - the question is if we can get it done done or not. And we can.

When @ycombinator funded @project_wren they were working on something very different but the team quickly narrowed down on this idea. However, I have never come across a better suited team to build this product. We fund teams - not ideas! https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/
