Wren is about so much more than carbon offsets I've been supporting Wren for a few years now as a poor college student. They're transparent, impactful, and effective. Wren is about so much more than offsetting — it's also about lifestyle changes such as eating more plant-based foods instead of meat, replacing flying with other things, and talking about climate change with loved ones. I think Wren is very conscious of the limits of carbon offsetting. Even though that's their core business model, they are doing a lot of great educational work on social media to raise awareness for the importance of taking personal action on climate change. It's easy to write Wren off by saying that "carbon offsets are only a band-aid solution when systemic change is what's really needed," but some people seem to have that attitude almost as an excuse to avoid taking action. If you have the financial means to support Wren, most upper-middle-class people are morally obligated to do that in my view. That's only the beginning of what's needed to respond to the climate crisis, but you've got to start somewhere. As Wren's tagline says, "systemic change starts with you."

No better way to reduce your carbon footprint I can't find a better way to reduce my carbon footprint more conveniently than paying Wren to offset it for me. I do want to make changes myself as an individual but the impact of that is limited. However, it's not nothing and Wren suggests those changes as well.

Part of the Solution Too often, climate discussions turn into comparisons of various state-imposed solutions, usually punitive taxes, stifling regulation, or both. Being both climate-conscious and a staunch supporter of free-market solutions, Wren has given me a way to do my bit toward solving the climate crisis without merely handing more power to governments. Their offsets allow me to directly fund climate solutions, while giving me an incentive to reduce my footprint in a way that fits my life and values (and suggestions on how to go about it!). This puts power back into the hands of individuals, and shows that we can solve global problems with voluntary solutions. So subscribe to Wren, and be part of a freer, cleaner, better world!

Wren is awesome Wren is awesome! Made me realize it's actually not that expensive to live carbon neutral. When I first joined as a student living in a studio a few years ago I was able to offset all my CO2 for less than the cost of my Netflix subscription. The cost of offset has increased a bit, but I decided to stick with my original annual amount. They never increase costs unless you choose to!
